They do not pay pilots in training, they do not provide a hotel or even transportation prior to such either. I am sorry but if I had to pay say 500 bucks to interview there, then wait 2 months of not getting paid and then work an entire month to pay for the interview cost to fly an airplane with no glass, autopilot, toilet, and live off EAS (job security) no thanks.
95% of this is not accurate. Please do some research before posting. I'm not saying the stuff that Lakes does to us is great, but don't paint an image that doesn't exist. Thank you.
Obviously, for those of you considering working here at Lakes... make sure you understand who posts things that are correct and valid.
You won't be paid during training. You will be provided a hotel during training. You will not be provided a hotel or transportation for the interview, sorry. You will not be paid a dime during training, sorry again. Maybe one day (when Lakes realizes they need to attract more pilots) things will be done more to "industry standards".
