I made more money working part time at a grocery store in high school. But I guess there are people who will do it.

Does it pay more than 15 grand a year, with hardly any increase yearly? If only I had a few more hours in the turbine to get a tad more multi time...

I thought that there were going to be new minimum hiring standards because of 3407?

If it paid more and I could commute, I'd be all over it. Not worth it for $14,400/year.

The ATP mins thing isn't required yet as far as I know so I'm pretty sure minimums are still decided by the airline.

Doesnt appear as if they plan to hire anytime soon. This is what I received this morning in my email.

Thank you for your continued interest in Great Lakes Airlines. Your information has been forwarded to the Chief Pilot's office for review. We are not currently actively hiring, however we are collecting resumes for possible upcoming training classes.

The bill to which you are referring is still in legislation - it has not been passed or implemented.

"$14,400/year."

What are they smoking? It must be pretty good.

On a side note, I got a call from Key Lime the other day. I applied a few months ago when I was on the verge of being layed off and thought to myself "what the heck?" I am pleased to say I turned them down due to a more financially lucrative position I have taken on since then. Especially since I found out how they really are due to these forums.

A flight student’s adventure!
