You can be "off to where ever the wind blows" if that destination is corporate or another regional. I highly doubt you will upgrade as quickly at Mesa. Turbine PIC...

Hahahaha...Good luck with that. An SIC type in an RJ? I bet that makes you a shoe in for the right seat at another regional in a year or so. In the meantime you can upgrade here. But hey I understand those jets are irrestistable when they shine in the sun. At least Lakes isn't cancelling vacations.

HAHAHAHA what a tool! yeah those cl-65 sic's are sooo rare! Please, DO NOT go to Lakes. They have a certain group of people you would not fit in with at all.

Hey guys when AMW shutdown did you guys pick up any of their old birds with those routes?

Also if someone had a 1900 type and over 1000 PIC in it would it make a difference in the hiring of street CA's or upgrade times. I know some of those AMW'ers are bound to be looking for work too.

We haven't picked up any of the birds yet...the problem is that we aren't willing to pay enough for them.

It would be worth a shot to throw in your resume for a street captain slot. Hard telling if it would work out or not, but we have hired a few lately.

I actually have a question about benefits. What are the benefits Lakers do receive? Are they the same for all employees?

Training is 6-8 weeks long, you are not paid, but they do put you up in a hotel

Do any of you guys at GLA know how many more F/O's they are looking to get? My friend is eligible for captain upgrade, but told me she is still an F/O since they are short F/Os. Also, I see you guys, on the website, are adding new routes, but have other cities targetted that you are not flying too yet. I am interested in being based in STL, if I get hired, and I see there are lots of cities around the STL area that are "yet to be served". Any information about projected growth, adding new planes, etc??
