Not wanting to lauch another "we hate X" rant, they are a viable airline with international and domestic structure. They seem to be making money and might be in a position to improve thier situation in the future. Sure, if I had my exclusive choice, I might work elsewhere, but until I actually have a choice, it seems logical to cast a fairly wide net. Not sure what you mean by "history of destroying careers". Indy Air died on me, but I don't feel they destroyed my career. This is a rough business, and only a fool would think they will be at employer X 'till they are 60. Honestly, I was in a solid job outside the industry, and I felt no more secure.
I have a strong "maybe" from a company I really like, but until I'm in class I will continue to seek all available options.

Destroying careers may be a little harsh, but if you go there without full qualifications for other positions (for when they furlough you and you're getting older with a full dose of airline stink) it does ring kinda true. Good luck.

" There are many a pilot who didn't have the TPIC to get a decent job when furloughed last round "
You hit my anger point RIGHT ON THE NOSE!!!!
Try getting caught between the "You don't have enough PIC time" and the "You are going back to USAirways soon" rocks. Any other industry VALUES EXPERIENCE!!!!
