There wasn't one in December due to the holidays, but there is going to be a new hire groundschool in January. Since May 1, I believe there have been 5 new hire classes despite losing 5 Beech 1900s this past summer. Classes have been considerably smaller than in the past, and have averaged about 6-8 new hires per month. There is normally only one class per month, and it generally starts towards the beginning of the month. The demand for new pilots is driven solely by attrition at this point, so the number, frequency, and size of classes is determined by how many pilots are leaving.
If you want to get in, you pretty much need to know someone that works for Lakes and have them give your resume to the Chief Pilot. I hope this helps, good luck!
