Yeah, if you're unqualified, then you don't have a chance of getting a call. But, with the hundreds of applications they get from extremely over-qualified candidates, how could it be much more than luck? I've had numerous people contact me, saying they applied at Lakes, and wondering when they will get a call. A lot of these people have thousands and thousands of hours with multiple type ratings in transport category aircraft. People who just barely meet qualifications get calls, people who are overly qualified get calls, and a lot never receive calls.

From what I understand, an internal recommendation is pretty huge. There's a guy in class now with around 300TT. I'm in sim right now and only have 600TT, 400 multi, and 150 in the ERJ...no internal recommendation. I'm not sure how they select people honestly. I applied back in August and got the interview in January.

Yeah this class is pretty broad. I'd say luck of the draw. Times in the 300's to times above 3000 and a lot in between. Just beat down the door if you really want in. It may work it may not but I don't think waiting for people to find you in a pile of 1000 or so resume's is gonna get the job done either.

How long is ground school, sim, etc...? Also, I know that it is unpaid, but do they pick up the hotel tab??

You can hop on Lakes for free, if you just happen to live near a Lakes outstation (yeah right). Or, even if you live by a Lakes hub, you could hop around for a day or two, and probably find some way to Denver; enjoying 5-8 legs on Lakes Air...jk

I think ground training is 4-6 weeks, followed by sim. hotel is paid for but I believe is dual occupancy so you will have a roomie.

wow that is great! I'm used to old pilot lounge couches with mice in them. Sometimes a scorpion or tarantula will roll by. But man.. watch out for those mice. I'm not kidding either. Thats where the company makes us stay on overnights.

Sharing a room with someone will be the least of my worries. I would just be happy having a hotel to stay in.
