I'd rather spend 3~5 years or less at Lakes than spend 10 years at Gojets.

Gojets = longer time to upgrade, and then, when you finally do upgrade, you're just going to be another boring RJ driver that can't hand-fly an approach to save his ass among thousands of other RJ drivers like you trying to apply for the same 25 slots at an airline that actually pays decent, so by the time you get hired by one of them, you'll be well past 10 years in the barbie jet. Would even be better to go to Lakes for 3 years, get the 1000TPIC and then Skywest for a year. You'd be much more competitive than a 4 year Gojets pilot.

Additionally, Lakes sells their own tickets and doesn't take mainline flying away or contribute to any other errosion of the profession. By going to Gojets, you're becoming a part of the reason why this industry has gone to hell.

It's called EAS, and it's one reason that this industry has gone to hell (amongst others)

No offense, but your smoking a little too much crack.

Paying 18/hr to fly an airplane full of people, by hand, in bad (mountainous) weather isn't eroding the profession?

Eroding the profession has no bearing in this conversation, but if that makes you feel better about yourself at the end of the day, it's your call. How about these newbie pilots learning how to fly with zero common sense being taught, being totally dependent on their G1000, little to no stick and rudder skills, and crap scan due to "technology" handing them everything on a silver platter. We may not be contributing to the profession regarding our paychecks, but don't you dare blame us for "eroding the industry".

The conversation IS/WAS about degrading the profession, at least for this page. So you hate new pilots? If they don't have the skills, they won't get hired. What's your problem with that? Are you saying that the lowest common denominator and least qualified (in all measurable ways) of the pilot pool are the ones that apply to GLA for pilot jobs?
