I'd much rather have a young, enthusiastic F.O. who is grateful to get out of his Piper Seminole and into a King Air than some of the "more experienced" guys we've been hiring lately.

The pay is good for the aircraft, most of the people are good dudes and dudettes, and safety is always on the forefront.
Back side of the clock isn't the usual, but it's possible. Flip-flopping from early mornings to late nights and back again is always possible and happens during the busy times. 4-6 leg days in the east happen sometimes and you may fly 35-40 hrs in a tour. Or you may only block 10 hours in 8 days.

3500 total 2000 pic 2500 multi 1500 multi PIC and 2000 turbine. Provisional street captains also need quality time in type. At least that’s what I’m seeing. Those mins may have changed and comsidrations for type of experience are made.

Most other places such as net jets will hire you, but then you have to deal with the union, and you’ll sit right seat for 10 or more years.
