Just trying to get info on commuting, trust me I am not that guy, and down the road thats an internal rec for alot of people for united, the only guy I will be is that guy trying to commute to Den from EWR to work at great lakes...
Just a little piece of advice. I already know that your Dad is a UAL Captain, and that he has helped you get internal recs, and that he has a condo in SLC... and I don't even know you. When and if you ever get a job at Lakes, your captains aren't gonna want to hear about how great your Dad is and much money he has, and how you can go stay at his condo in SLC any time you want, and on and on and on. You don't wanna be "that guy". Oh... and don't bring your knee-board or E6B to your IOE.

18-24 months with the emphasis toward the latter.
And for the other guy, holding a line after 6 months does not guarantee you a good commute. There is no such thing as a good line at Lakes, and many are super un-commutable. Maybe one of your internal recs can get you a copy of the bid packet so you can see for yourself.
Too many people on this site paint a rosy picture of Lakes. You really need to do some hard research and figure out what you're getting into, especially if you're going to be commuting from the east coast.

I have been at Lakes for almost a year and now looking to leave....Doesn't look like I will upgrade till at least the summer time and the QOL/pay here is horrible. I will probably leave in a few months before upgrading to go somewhere with a much better pay and QOL. I came here originally with the quick upgrade idea but decided to me personally its not worth it...
