Can someone tell me if Great Lakes has improved their operations over the last couple years?

A few years ago I heard that they were one of the worst airlines to work for, is that still true?

I also heard that FO's are being upgraded in 6 months to a year, is this true as well?

Why can't people interested in Great Lakes use the SEARCH function or neglect to use it entirely? That said, good luck to you.

maybe its because the information I am looking for isn't out there or current

The info on the apc airline info page is up to date. Still poverty wages still upgrading really quick. Any more questions?

What about this 15 month training contract I keep hearing about?

15 month contract and no pay during training.

Two more reasons why nobody wants to fly for them.

Nobody huh? Yeah who would want to work for a place where you can log 121PIC turbine time as soon as you have ATP min's, that is if you can hack it. There is no mystery about pay or quality of life sucking but the advatages are clear for career progression. So yet another know it all CFI wants to pipe up like you have some great industry insight to make a smart remark about my job. Well let me share with you that I am happy with my choice. Every friend of mine who was hired to RJ jobs at the same time I was hired at GLA is on the street again and I am a Captain. Many of them are applying here now. I am not trying to make it sound like this is a wonderful place for pay or QOL but it is absolutely serving it's purpose for me and those of us who are here. So, there are poeple who want to fly here and it is a choice that should be made with the big picture in mind. If this is not the place for you great! But, where do you get off...

Merely logging time is often not enough to take a job someplace.

Reading the old threads ... there were guys who were applying July - Sept timeframe (ChillBillPilot, rickR, shaunster9797, Aileron). If any of you guys are at Lakes now, how has it worked out? [/font]
