I also worked there and can say that a lot of Rangerrick's observations are true. But... they never missed a paycheck and, though slow, HR was adequate. Pilots are tools for them. Do not expect to be rewarded for making good decisions when those decisions may cost money or lose revenue.

Operations is slow, but generally gets things done. If you are used to FAA 121/135 dispatchers, these guys aren't them. They did stupid stuff with fuel/alternate planning all the time. Operations is very reactive, not proactive.

With QOL, a lot depends on which airplane you are on and if you are flying for an owner or for Empire itself. Make sure you understand which you will be doing and what kind of schedule to expect.

Overall, you can certainly do a lot worse in the ME.
