I think you misunderstood me - I wasn't bagging on Lakes, quite the opposite. Many pilots before myself have gotten to the highly paid (or once highly paid before the RJ era) majors working for the likes of Lakes, ASA (when they had the J41's), Commutair, etc. There's no shame in doing it in small commuter equipment, IMO.
