Great Lakes Airlines?
 

Just wondering if anyone has any information on Great Lakes Airlines? Looking to hear about QOL, Payrates, upgrade times, training department, training schedule...Basically any kind of general information would be beneficial. Thanks fellas!

SEARCH was too short to post so I'm going to say SEARCH again.

Airwillie, I'm confused by your response to my post, maybe im just being my normal, slow self, but could you clarify?

Translation: do a search of these threads for "Great Lakes" and "GLA" and you'll find the answers to all the above questions. Some current/recent Lakers might also add some current/updated info, but most of the stuff you want to know has been covered in other threads and is pretty easy to find. Good luck.

hmm not too much about great lakes after searching .. anything new happening there? still hiring?

$16/hr first year pay...not paid during training

Thats enough to keep me doing slow flight and ground ref.

Quick upgrade, lots of flying and more stable than most places are right now. 16 dollars changes to 27 as soon as you have 1500 hours if you can hack the upgrade. People are fun to work with but you must know how to drink a considerable amount of alchohol and be a good stick.

I am currently flight instructing as well right now which isn't a bad job. But I am finding it hard to believe that mastering slow flight,steep turns, stalls, and ground ref. is gonna help me progress to the next level. The only thing that I find beneficial is teaching instrument students. Great Lakes pay is really low and I would be making less money but I am looking more towards being challenged, flying a bigger, faster, more advanced aircraft. Building turbine time getting an upgrade and then building PIC turbine time. Its a tough decision to make, I have something relatively stable right now but I want to advance my career in market where the hiring at other regionals is nil, hence my problem. I am sure I am not the only one in this position so any advice is greatly appreciated.

get out why you still can!!!
