Great place to get in, get your 1000+ TPIC and get out in less than 24 months.

New Hire

We recently got a new code share with Elite Airlines, and Frontier just agreed to the flow-through. Basically, the new hires will be interviewed by Frontier and Great Lakes before getting the job, and once reaching 1000 hours PIC, move on to Frontier. As previously stated before, we need captains, not F/O's. Pay was raised yet again for ATP qualified F/O's to $32 an hour (not the best, but its definitely better than before) and captains are $42. Now, that probably doesn't sound like the best to most people, but if you're trying to get your time as quickly as possible and move on up, there's probably no better place than Lakes. Some of the most fun flying you'll probably ever have in your career as well. But at the same time, dealing with management, maintenance, dispatch and crew scheduling will probably be the worst out of your career here. But hey, I'm just here to get my 1000 PIC and roll. So, that's only another couple years or so, out of a hopefully 40+ year career in this field. I can deal with the **** for that long.
