Thanks for the info!
Do you know what type of simulator it is? Is it like a Frasca kind of thing?

I interviewed on Thursday, there were at least 3 other guys interviewing, I'm hoping to get the job offer sometime this week.

Just curious but how long is training at Lakes? Also do you do IOE without pay or is it just the ground and Sim you don't get paid for?

Training is approximately 40-45 days for the Beech (give or take a few, each month is different depending on holidays and such) and the Embraer is about 50-55 days depending on the month as well.

Training is not paid, however once you take your checkride, you are paid. In other words, IOE will be paid to you.

Those 40-45 days are business days only, or are you counting weekends too?
I've heard the checkride is in the actual airplane, not in the sim, is that accurate?

Thanks again!

Sounds like crap, I don't care if the upgrade times are quick. Your time is always worth something.

Anybody forcing you to fly for GLA?
I do care about fast upgrading, I don't want to fly on the right seat for a decade.
I'd rather make a few bucks less an hour for 2 years than make a few bucks more and be stuck for a freaking decade!
