Proud ex-Laker reporting in. (Of course it was almost 20 years ago when the only places that would take a 1000 hour CFI were Lakes, Mesaba, and Co-Ex if you paid for training...)
Though in today's climate I have zero clue how they get a new hire FO to go come there.

I have a close friend and former student just go there. He had about 500 hours and no interest in cfi to build time. He did some skydiving but it was going to take a while to 1250 hours (ratp).
So for him it's ok. But I hope as soon as he gets his 1250 he gets out. I was hoping he could go up to Alaska.. But he took lakes instead..

Unfortunately, they're doing better on the expense (cutting) side than the income side. Their business model is more out-of-date than any other regional.
You can't keep losing money on each flight and make it up on volume. Ask any retailer.

Especially ones with a better contract...
