GL doesn't even help you get to the interview. |

Yeah, but that means you can go 3 months without being paid, all while watching people around you get ousted.
GL doesn't even help you get to the interview. As far as washout rate, it's mainly due to proficiency issues. The training has been revamped. It's a lot of information, but somebody who puts in the study time is fully capable of finishing. As far as flight proficiency though, that's up to the applicants. Come prepared to fly on instruments or it may not end well. We don't train to fly on autopilot all of the time (EMB). You still need to know how to fly. |

We do if you live at a station we serve. Delta doesn't positive space you on United to get to a Delta interview, do they? As much as I'd like, if you lived in NYC and we served NYC, you'd probably be provided a seat on us. Remember, our system isn't spread out as much as others carriers.

That's one of the perks of contracting flying with other carriers, huh? They have positive space agreements, we have to buy tickets. That's the difference.

True, FMLA can help in the event of the birth of a child. There are however a few things to remember in regard to FMLA
1) You must be a full time employee with at least one full year of service before you qualify 2) It is not paid With what Lakes pays, would you really notice a difference? :D:p |

Lakes is going to have a booth at the July 20th job fair in Vegas. Can you seriously see anybody that meets ATP mins willfully signing on with this outfit? Come on. 16k a year. You can get more on unemployment and government assistance. I have no beef with the Laker pilots, you gotta do what you gotta do, I'm just saying when I entered the regional world 7 years ago, I took a pass on Lakes. For that matter, Mesa too.
