Any word about when they'll start hiring again?

CaptainCarl:

Read the article from the link that you provided. Reminded me of a thread that I started back in March '08. Had to dig into the archives for this one. Since joining APC though, I've gained a greater appreciation for turboprops.

Looks like Lakes is putting the full court press on the Montana flying: http://www.kxlo-klcm.com/site/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=699:g reat-lakes-airlines-looks-to-bid-on-lewistown-essential-air-service&catid=10:news-pod&Itemid=114

Does Lakes have the Airplanes to cover Montana Flying?

When they get kicked out of one city, the just move onto the next! The have a few cities where they have/will get the boot soon i.e Laramie, WY.

Not the employe's fault but the way the way the company operates

Well, word around the camp fire is that Silver is selling Lakes 2 1900's... Lakes already got the boot from MT?

Wonder if its the two airplanes that are leaving billings. If so good riddance they can have those two hunk of junks.

Also I heard lwt might be loosing EAS altogether as the federal subsidy exceeds $1000 per passenger. It's just over $2000 per passenger. More than twice what the federal program allows.

On that note anyone know when the next Saab class is?

I came up with this bid preference sheet to figure out what lines, in order, I'd like to bid for considering multiple factors. Factors such as Block credit, days off, consecutive days off, days off and whatever else. The way the work sheet works is that from Flica you sort the lines to your preference, then in descending order list the line numbers. The column on the right has the lines, in order, with a point assessment. I go through the other columns and add up the points for where the lines are in each row. Then, when you add the points up, you can put them in order on the bottom according to points in ascending order. As in golf, the line with the least points will be your #1 choice. This way you can get the best of all the factors.

Yes I was really bored to come up with this, and my nifty college degree helped me out. If you want this in word document, PM me and I'll email it you. This helps me to sort the lines considering the factors, I want to fly a lot, but want a lot of days off in a row.
