Firstly Globalwarning is speaking our of his ar5e.
Now with that comment said here is what Eastern is really like. It is not the best start to your career but it is by no means the worst. If you join now you will be going onto the J41 or the Saab 2000, both of which are at the high performance spectrum of the turboprop scale. Both have EFIS flightdecks and the Saab is by far the most modern and quickest of the two types.
I flew the J41 and I enjoyed my time flying it. Good experience, good training and reasonably good SOPs as well. I went to around 30 different airports in UK and Europe in 2 years which provided a good dose of variety. Crews are very friendly and good fun to fly with.
The J41 gives you a good grounding for your next type. The reasonably modern flight deck means that the next jump is not as big as coming from less advanced turboprops!
