GLA is not a bad gig, but the pay (or lack thereof) is horrendous......

I'm not going to blow smoke, it's not for everyone...carefully evaluate your financial situation before coming to GLA.

natemotatem,

If you don't mind me asking, what made you decide to go with Scenic instead of Lakes?

Yes, 15 months, $7500 (for either airplane), not pro-rated.

It's a little more money than I made per year in college...without the benefit of student loans. It's tough, but to agree with EMB120, you do get really good at budgeting, scraping by, and learning to live simply.
