They have been gone for over a year now. UPS drops an Airbus into Lubbock and we feed a few cities from there.

On the bro average about 4.0-4.5 a day 2-3 times a week. Metro 4-6hrs a day 3-4 tims a week.
Also they just hired 1 maybe 2 FO's so they probably aren't looking for any. But like others have said you need to talk directly with Sheri. That's how I got the job, my co-worker and I dropped are resumes with her at a career fair. Both got a call a couple months later asking if we were interested. I gave my resume with about 700tt and started training with about 900tt the other guy started training with 600tt.

Depending on how they feel in BUR at the time, be prepared to fly the bro longer than you agreed to and past 135 mins, be prepared to threaten to quit if they don't honor it, or be prepared to put your money where you mouth is and bail. Not a bad option for a low time guy that wants to build time not cfi'ing or other things, just go in eyes open.

Yup this is great advice. If I don't get upgraded the day my contract expires I'm out of here.
That would be a tough sell, as that 1200 hour minimum is written in part 135. There's no precedent for having lowered time requirements for a PIC. Sounds like a bad rumor to me.

They've posted looking for PA-31 captains at 900 hours, which they'll SIC qualify people until they get to 1200 hours, I know that much.

Are they planning on paying these sic's?
I'd think paying 1200 pilots more would do the trick, but, hey.

We may or may not be getting another contract out of BQN as well. There's a push to get A LOT more flying out of BQN. Not just on Brasilias. Whatever fleet changes they're planning to make, it seems like it will happen here first.
Personally, I wouldn't do it if you have 135 mins, or can get 135 mins in the next 6 months. You're stuck on that thing for a year or more. Chieftain->99->type rated airplane takes about 8 months these days.

According to the job posting I saw, they are planning on paying them. The way it was worded almost makes it sound as if they'll be captain qualified (VFR)

How's the staffing there? Can they fill needed spots?
