I wouldnt recomend anyone walk into an airline interview with 9ME, not even Lakes, thats crazy. On the positive side; it's better to be turned down now rather than have a 121 ground school failure on your record.
I think it's safe to say that GLA is flooded with all the 121 guys now.
On the contrary, many of those guys/galls who are geting furloghed are affraid to come to Lakes, think its bad juju. Most are not comming here. The ones that are comming here are the ones that have been here before and know what kind of place Lakes is. Those people returning are comming back as Captains. They are not takking the FO's slots that are very much open.
My advise, get some more Mult time, get your MEI. You have to have 15hrs PIC ME to qualify for the MEI ticket anyway. Rent a bucket twin and fly, while working with an instructor towards the MEI. Thats what I did!
Cheers
