I know Great Lakes take guys at 600hrs and fly a bunch of /A, not exactly what I am looking for.
We need to know where you want to live and what your goals & priorities are: QOL, spouse, kids, career progression. I do agree that Lakes is not a good idea...their training system has no mercy and it's a big gamble with your career. A few of their captains seem to be able to get on with bottom-tier majors, but for the most part prop TPIC in a /A airplane with no automation is not what the majors seem to prefer right now. I know many lakes CA's, and they're all good people and fine pilots...but the reason I know so many is that they're all in my right seat.
