Reference Flex81's posts on the previous page...he said it all quite well. If you are a "majors or bust" kinda guy, I really can't see a better opportunity than ol' Lakes Air. By the time all the cool kids at the "top 5 regionals" are upgrading, most Lakers are moving on to majors. That said, it's a tough lifestyle, but can be done...it just takes the ability to scrape by, and perhaps live with a houseful of roommates. Not for everyone, but still pretty tough to knock.
