I would be morbidly curious to read a psych study of them given how eager they are for such a punishing, low paying experience.
When I went to work there in the late 90s, I didn't know any better. You pretty much needed 1200/200 to get a job anywhere, and competitive mins were a lot higher at the regional jet operators. GLA was hiring people right out of the interview, and hey, it sure beat flight instructing.
But yeah, in this modern era when you can know everything about a company after a couple hours of research, and the jet operators are bribing people to show up for class, you'd have to be a special kind of stupid to go work for GLA. Or ridiculously low time...
