How much flying are you averaging per month?

40-50 hours block on reserve. Credit varies a lot for me, sometimes 90+, but mostly 75.

Thanks for the info. Do you like it there? How does the future (2-5 years) look?

I like it, but its not for everyone. Its super short flights and high work load. Every day is a challenge. Future doesn't really look great on account of our crappy performance. I know they pitch it like we are a start up, but it really isn't and it has shrunk back to the Gulfstream Airline it was right before bankruptcy. The only difference now is we outsource are rampers ( hasn't worked out great ) and do our own ticketing like a real airline. But no other regional has ever been able to make their own ticketing work from what I understand. So I just enjoy while we are flying! Hope this helps!

Yeah this forum is really quiet now, but then again our work force is also much older. I am not sure how comfortable or aware most of our new FO's are with using computers and forums.

Yeah, that makes sense. It's the airline for computer illiterates; where else do you exclusively fly on green needles under part 121, right? No FMS programming, no ACARS and the Ipad project has been quiet now for months.
