Thanks UAL but this was a nice thread and descended into chaos. Cutting it off sooner would have perhaps stopped this?

Is Elite still as bad as you guys say it is?

I already have that magical 1000 TPIC

How fast is the upgrade (if any)?
Is everyone based in PWM, or outstation?
Is there any incentive or bonus for prior 121/TPIC in a CRJ2?
Is it more like Allegiant with day trips, or do you get overnights?
Do you have CASS/jumpseat rules?
How many days off a month?
Would I have to wear a hat? (haha)

We are home based although many live in Florida and do the VRB,MLB,APF and starting in November SRQ. Branson and RFD routes cease end of October. We are in cass and adding jumpseat agreements, frontier being latest. Charter season coming up and will be busy thru April .
All pilots start as FO and upgrade as needed on a merit basis. I.e. If you have the time but are weak, you won't upgrade. We have bypassed guys. Just finished a class of 4capt/3fo when I say 4 Capt they are trained and hired as captains, but we tell them it may be 6-12 months before we move them over. Not trying to over promise. It just may be that long. However, we have 11 aircraft and 52 pilots with more airplanes on way. You do the math.

How long are trips usually? Days on/off.
Decent health care?

Thanks!

7 on 7 off?
Do trips ever start and end in PWM, or always out of MLB?

It's hard to find much info about "mainer"

If you've just added 3 more aircraft, with more to come...

(A.) What are they?
(B.) Where did they come from? I'm told that existing 200s came from Iberia (or subsidiaries) and 900s came from Lufthansa (subsidiary).

Great Lakes' code-share map still lists Branson and Houston as destinations (map dated Nov 2nd), but the timetable list both cities as 'Discontinued.' What happened?

Keep up the good work!

700s from Lufthansa city line and 900s from aero nostrum
Branson was basically fee for departure and not worth the effort.

Are schedules 7/7 not 4/3 ?

7/7 won't work for me and my family.
