CSA Air is a part 135 cargo company that operates C208’s as a FedEx feeder. They are owned by AirT, which also owns Mountain Air Cargo. I don’t think they have the Purple Runway program, while Mountain Air does have the program to get you to FedEx, if that is your goal.
My opinion, which is not worth much, is that CSA is a small but good operation. Most FedEx feeder aircraft are very well maintained.
Their website doesn’t have a lot of information, but it does have the route map in the about section in the drop down menu. http://www.csaair.com/

also interested
Also interested, the single-seat C208 operation seems like it would be both fun flying and valuable time building. I heard that there was flow through between CSA and MAC where you would retain seniority and be able to transition to the ATR and Purple Runway eligibility.
I like the routes, 1200TT/500XC is pretty steep for an entry level gig but there's not much use for a C208 FO and you'd get to ATP mins pretty quick

Read part B(2)
Now that said, single pilot IFR in any plane is a challenge (especially on a schedule). Add ice, middle of the night, low wx, a caution or warning light, and it’s easy to see why 1200 hours is required. Remember, in these types of ops your the PIC and have to eat the consequences of your actions and others (ATC, company, loaders).
With that said this type of flying will be very beneficial to you as a pilot. Being able to do that kind of flying day in and out will make you leaps and bounds a better pilot.
