Ex Express jet management team and so really bad characters. When there is an exodus it’s because it gets to a point where people can’t take it anymore.
The owner is a real piece of work. While he cut salaries and jobs, he was partying like it was 1999 in the Bahamas.

In my year there, on the erj, I wasn't lied to once.
Ex-expressjet? Yes. Bad characters? They were all super professionals to me.
Exodus nowadays is the norm everywhere. People want to make more money and have better QOL.
Owner is a gentleman. I remember having dinner with him and the DO, and it was a great night.
With that being said, it's a part 135 and they will work you hard and pay you crap, like most 135s out there.

Currently 10, they're hoping to get to 12 soon as they increase staffing.
Are trips out and back?
Many trips are between New York and Florida, it is common to fly anywhere from 1-3 legs in a day. There are also sometimes charters where you fly to other locations.
Approx # of hours logged per mo?
The last few months as they're under staffed pilots have gotten over 120 hours, 80+ seems common.
Upgrade time to left seat?
You have to reach 3000 hours to upgrade.

I specifically talked about MY experience and MY fleet. And my relationship with management. Still many friends there. So maybe there's something wrong with you after all.
