I'm going to have to jump on the don't do it bandwagon. Pilots who go this route are labeled as PFT's and it will be become apparent in future interviews with regionals/majors. I'd highly recommend taking the money, buying your II/MEI ratings and applying to 135 operators for PIC positions when you meet their minimums. Also, airnet has a paid SIC program where you get a salary to sit right seat until meeting minimums.
