GLA guys-didn’t y’all just vote on a TA? Did it pass? I heard that, among a few other ‘improvements,’ proposed first year pay for FO was $22/hr.

One should apply to a bottom-feeder airline because one wants to work at that particular bottom-feeder airline, not for some other reason. Only then will working conditions and pay scale improve in the industry. Saying "but so-and-so did it" is not a valid excuse.

I was in Denver the other day, and there literally not a single person in the GLA terminal, and there were about 10 1900s parked.

How many planes are actually flying there now?

My old roommate is at lakes and said it's true that the pay is 22/hr (1st yr FO). Not sure if it was just first year FO pay or a company wide raise. Given that most of their routes are EAS it's like a great tax return!

But, the training is difficult. He said half of his class didn't make it through training. Bad news for trying to find another airline job. So if you skip the CFI route for lakes, better know your stuff.

You aren't paid for training so you aren't an employee till you pass, everyone who didn't pass my class was hired elsewhere immediately (2011) all the fun airports are gone for now though...

What's going on at great mistakes? Are y'all below 50 total pilots, how long before they turn off the lights?

There isn't really any GL pilots on this forum, this thread hasn't had anything going on in a while.

Talked to a buddy of mine the other day. Said they had about 120 pilots on deck. They are still running ground school and may be looking for street Captains in the future.
