I received the same email. Several times. I unable to get the recent time requirements due to a slow down in my contract pilot flying(Piper Cheyenne II turbo prop). I called Great Lakes to see if there was any waiver but there was not. I have 1750 tt, 440 multi with 112 multi turbine, Just passed ATP written. Not good enough. I am forced to go fly a C150 for 20 hours to get the 35 hrs in 90 days/ 80 hrs in 6 months. Free plane just pay for fuel. Rather get kicked in the nuts!
Call me crazy but I want to go to Great Lakes for the type flying and training. Cut my commercial flying teeth flying freight for G.T.A. Air inc. out of Addison, Tx. So.... never had autopilot(to speak of) or GPS. Pay, well I'm not making much right now anyway.
If anyone knows a different approach on how to get an interview with G.L.A., chime in!!
Don't want to step on any toes. Just get an interview!!

 

From the guys I know flying for gla, I hear it is around 18-24 months, but I was told attrition is high and they need guys bad so who knows, don't quote me on the 18-24 because it's a dirty rumor, they lost the Montana flying and picked flying in califoria so anything could happen

 

So does that mean you are going straight to the mainlines?

Really, I can understand turning one or two of those down, but there are a couple that are pretty good. Just what are you expecting?

 

RV8TER, I tried to send you a PM, but your setting won't allow. PM me if you change them.

 

you must not have seen the new pay scale or heard of the pay bump each year starting Dec 11. Assuming you recently declined 9L

 

Just joined APC last night. Cannot PM until I post at least 25 times? Working on that one. Can you see my email address in my profile? Just changed that to "everyone".

 

Interesting. If you go to GreatLakesAv.com, you can find both the current route map, and the "May 2011" route map, showing the dropped Montana flying and the additional California flying.

Wow. Lakes has lost all of its flying east of the Dakotas. I remember the good ol' days when ORD, STL and the Upper Peninsula were the big hotspots. No more I guess....
