I've heard we'll have PHX, DEN, MCI. I can't confirm any of this but I'm hopeful.
I can confirm this being one of the new hires that was sent home back in April of 09...As of 1/4 they offered us a new hire class date for 1/18...Attrition seems to be the key ingredient to this and sounds like (not confirmed) that a capt upgrade class will soon follow.

Wow. April of 09. You know that things are really really bad in the industry when Great Lakes doesn't run a new hire class in more than 2 months. Lots of luck with 16 dollars per hour I think that technically is below minimum wage. if you get a chance, write.

They are working on the pay through the union so don't lose any sleep over it. But most importantly, always remember that 20 dollars an hour on a 50 or 70 seat RJ is no better that 16 on a 19 seat Beech. If you don't work for Lakes it probably doesn't benefit anyone for you to be bashing their pay scale. Work on your own company's pay scale first. This forum has enough people being sarcastic so try to be more constructive...or don't...whatever floats your boat

From what I've heard, there will be a class of 18 on January 18th. I hope everybody passes. I could use a few more people under me.
