I figured on a quick upgrade which would have made the pay almost acceptable. Additionally, I really had no idea it was as bad as it is. From what I've heard from people who have been around for a while or are back due to furlough from somewhere else, things are much worse right now at Lakes than they've ever been. Anyway, being stuck in the right seat at Lakes is not a happy place to be and movement is painfully slow right now. When I was hired, there were supposed to be 100 more hired after me to cover new flying we'd been awarded. Company ended up giving back the EAS contracts and the flying was canceled. My stint at TSA involved an eerily similar story.
