Not sure if they still do a sim ride but if they do, get some time in a frasca before you go (unless you are pretty instrument proficient). |
How much total time / ME time do you have ChillBillPilot?
|
I currently have around 460TT and 140ME. I was a student at ATP and now instructing private pilots here. I definitely plan on jumping in the Frasca and getting my scan down real well. The only thing that I am deficient on is ndb approaches but I will be working on those before the interview. I appreciate all of your help fellas, any pointers on what an interview is like would be greatly appreciated.

True, but...
You will be a Captain within a year. You will only have to suffer on pay for the first year till you upgrade. You will gain some great skills. Good people. You will make lots of contacts. Lakes is the most stable flying job out there. I worked at lakes. It was the best decision I ever made in my aviation career thus far. 1000 turbine PIC and two types in less than three years and then I moved on to fly an airbus. I will be getting furloughed soon, but I will always have that turbine PIC in my back pocket. My question is with all other airlines not hiring, what kind of movement is there in Great Lakes? hence the short upgrade? |

They have picked up a bunch of EAS routes. Hence they are growing. Not much attrition now though. Great Lakes Airlines Route Map |
Are they still hiring street captains?

I applied, but declined the interview due to the lack of pay.

$16 an hour and $27 for a captain... I just don't see what is so Great about Great Lakes. This is as close as paying for training as it gets.
