very big department. When I was on EAU they hired low time guys (1500 tt) for right seat in 1900's and bravo's. Pay was min for a regional guy. Lots of turn over with right seaters.
They were 3 on 4 off in the slow season and 4on/3off when busy season starts in the fall and thru the winter.

They had a job posted on their website around this time last year, maybe a little more. It seemed like an ok gig, pretty low mins. I don't remember why I didn't apply, but I think the pay was sub-par. It wasn't worth leaving my then-current job over.
And now look where I am... At a regional, making half as much as I was at my then-current job, and on the brink of getting furloughed. Oh well, hindsight's 20/20.

I tell as few people as possible that I work for CHQ 
Anyway, back on topic... If I knew then what I know now, I'm still not sure Id have applied for the job; The pay cut was just too great. But it certainly would have been a better situation than the one I'm in now, plus I'd be in the corporate world... Which is what I really want to do.
I say give it a shot. Depending on what you current employment situation is like, you may not have anything to lose! I don't have any QOL or flight time info for you, though.
