azvandriver,
I flew for empire, but that was a long time ago. I was on the f27, and it was my first "crew" job, having only had single pilot time prior to that, for me it was a great learning experience. they seemed professional and everyone I worked around (anc-fai run) was extremely nice. Additionally, in ANC, the flying was all day flying, 1000am dept's. and no weekend flying (at that time); the money wasn't the best but it was like having the best pt. time job....another plus was you didn't have to load and unload your own freight.
I'd say go for it, but don't sign any training contract!
hope this helped
Z
