thanks for the replies
Thanks for all the responses!
Although I have quite awhile to think about it, I'm almost seriously considering Airnet for the time being (if and when I would be able to get hired there). The pay is awesome (comparable to regionals) and it seems, as far as I can see, the job security is a little bit more solid than being a SIC in a 1900 or similar.
Not only that, but a few people I've known have gotten hired there recently and it seems that from what they tell me the upgrade time is also rapidly dropping as they lose their captains to other airlines. It sounds like a great operation that allows you to build your PIC time rather quickly (if not in turbines at least in multi's to start). I had heard by friends that Airnet was questionable but it seems I was mis-informed as everyone else I've talked to that actually worked at the company really likes it.
I had seen on these boards somewhere that 12 LJ capt's at Airnet have just left for southwest and that's why I was inquring.
Anyway, thanks again
