Default Great Lakes Updates

Was in Denver yesterday and noticed about 15 or so Great Lakes 1900s all closed up. One flight had passengers boarding but that was it. Last I heard a few months back was they were down to a total of a little under 40 pilots. Are they getting any new hires? With today's market I can't see anyone really going there. Honestly, I thought they would be shut down by now. How many pilots do they have left?

I've heard in the last year various of reports from anywhere from 15-90 pilots. I agree, no reason To go there, probably just being staffed by the lifers at the moments.

They're actually advertising for part-time PIC's on their social media page.

No shortage of FO applicants. What they need are captains.

Haha. Funny. That's how everybody felt about USeless airways 5 years ago. "They just won't die". Now they're part of the "new American"

The parasite just found a new host to feed off of.

I know Key Lime Air (aka Denver Air Connection) has taken at least one of their routes. One of their DoJet's is parked in that area all the time.

Great Lakes is down to 25 Captains. They have plenty of First Officers.

I was wondering who was flying the DoJet. So they're on the EAS bandwagon now?
