True, but...

You will be a Captain within a year.

You will only have to suffer on pay for the first year till you upgrade.

You will gain some great skills.

Good people. You will make lots of contacts.

Lakes is the most stable flying job out there.


I worked at lakes. It was the best decision I ever made in my aviation career thus far. 1000 turbine PIC and two types in less than three years and then I moved on to fly an airbus. I will be getting furloughed soon, but I will always have that turbine PIC in my back pocket.
