Some of my buddies didn't get hired at Comair back in 2003, went straight to their second choice (CHQ), and are now senior captains waiting for the majors to start hiring again. Comair did them a huge favor, even if it didn't seem like it at the time.

Best of luck at the next airline.

Truer words have never been spoken.

That is definately not a bad place to be I agree. Being stuck at CHQ as a captain is better than being stuck at Lakes as a captain. If you are young and you want to gamble with the possibility of getting stuck at Lakes, you may reap large rewards.

The big thing is senority. If you spend 5+ years at a regional and only 2-3 years at lakes, thats 2-3 years of senority at another place. Lakes is not meant to be a place to stay, and get cozy!

I agree 100%. I wasn't referring to Lakes when I said "Why not enjoy flying, and go to a company that you will enjoy?" :)
