Just an FYI
Their minimums went up to 900 TT and they now require the ATP written.

Gotta get that ATP written out of the way!!

This is the 2nd interview invitation I have received, one was for 6/6/12 and there was no mention of an ATP written required for that interview date. However, when HR sent me the second invitation they asked me if I had my ATP written completed(which I do), did not mention that it was a requirement for the interview though.
I'm not sure about their TT requirements but I know that it used to be 750/50, which I see posted on some of their current job board listings. I noticed on their careers page it says 900/50 is preferred. I have nearly 1,000TT and about 30 multi.
Additionally, the email stated you must have logged at least 80hrs and 35hrs in the preceding 6 months and 90 days, respectively. Also, they want you to be instrument current(at least 6 approaches in the previous 6 months) and be ME current (at least 3 TO/landings in the preceding 90 days).
Once I emailed them and told them I met all of these requirements they sent me an interview confirmation email with a large attachment of several documents and paperwork that needs to be filled out for the interview.
Hope this helps anyone looking into GLA...

Well, I was the number 1 Laker for about a year and a half (not proud of it but that's a fact). That was not much fun. Looking back, I will tell you that the reason I got the job I have at a major was from a captain of mine at Lakes. He remembered me, and recommended me. Let there be no doubt. Great Lakes Aviation is a horrible place to work. I was junior manned and I was #1!!!!!!! Looking back I would suggest to go there but not for as long as I did. Do your best to get out ASAP.

So I'm guessing your going from Colgan or commutair to lakes? Why not at least look at silver or something. Hell I'd go to G7 before lakes.
