BTW, I know they have some west coast bases as well. Not sure where. Best of luck.
So if your parents paid for your training, you live with them still, have no debt, and have saved up over $10,000 while at Eagle or more, then maybe go to Lakes. You will enjoy unpaid training in a dump in Wyoming, then make $16 an hour, and jump to $18 second year. You might have a quick upgrade, pending the leases on the 1900 dont finally fall apart (been on the verge for years), or EAS service doesnt get cut. It might be a great way to get turbine PIC time in about 18 months, pending you can afford a 75% pay cut.
