I was at Lakes for 6 months in 1997-1998

Wasn't a bad gig as long as you went into it with the right mind set.

Don't worry about being one of those guys "chasing a quick upgrade" blah blah blah.

Always remember, you can quit anytime you want to. Most of us (myself included) left very low paying CFI jobs boring holes in the VFR sky in 172s to take that job. I flew there 6 months, logged 500 turbine, and had an interview at every single commuter airline hiring. Ended up going to Skywest (1999) at the time.

Again, Lakes isn't a bad gig as long as you realize you can quit it in 5 minutes if you want to. I've heard something about a training contact, which they didn't have at the time I went, in place now? That's something you'd definitely want to get the details, and enforceability, of before hand.
