You know, I actually read through this whole thread and must say it's a little disappointing. If you're in aviation to make a ton of money, you're in the wrong industry anymore. I'm a 370TT Commercial Pilot living in Denver and would LOVE to be flying at Lakes. Growing up, I ALWAYS wanted to be an airline pilot. My grandfather started out on DC-3s at Lake Central and ended up at USAir when he retired in the 80s. I worshipped that man, and I wanted to be just like him. Just to be able to say that I flew passengers around because it was my passion and what I wanted to do in life, certainly not because I wanted to make millions of dollars. Any chance I get these days I'm in the CRJ or A320 simulator in my office building learning something new (and it is very educational), but I'd kill to be out there actually flying one of those 1900s.

I'd rather be poor and love going to my job day in and day out than rich and stuck in a job I hated...
