The biggest problem with Focus is you will hardly get any hours. I have a bunch of friends there and they say they are lucky to get 30 hours a month. So if you want to build time, go to Southern or Kallitta.
Plus I hear management is horible. Downgrading guys because they made a mistake in the Jet and reported it, firing guys without warning, etc.
Don't get the wrong idea by my post. I'm rooting for all you guys. But the dudes flying in the regionals and flying for less without a Union in order to "build hours and credability" are on the front lines. Things won't get better until they take a stand and say--NO the buck stops here. The guys at Jet Blue, the regionals, and sounds like focus are in the trenches and we are counting on you guys to make it better for all of us.
