I regret not taking the September class for GLA. Just got two emails from Eagle and Skywest saying " They weren't going to interview me because they have people with more experience. If GLA would to call me tomorrow I would definitely take they job.

Eagle has been making no sense with their hiring practices lately.

Besides, if you come here with 500 hours, it will take you about 15 months to upgrade anyway, then you stick around for another year to get your 1000 PIC. Very few people leave before their training contract is done, and it's not because they are tied into it. And if they do leave, Lakes doesn't go after people too much anyway. If you get furloughed then don't come back to Lakes, nobody is going after you to pay up.
Lake's isn't going belly up guys. The media is really good at wording things to make them appear worse than they are. We are simply refinancing our fleet. We wouldn't be doing interviews and going to career fairs if that were the case. So yes the OCT class was cancelled, but it's just because we are adequately staffed, and not because we are going under or are a sinking ship.
You are correct, Lakes airplanes have not been repo, the leasing company wanted them back at the end of the lease. This has led to shrinking almost 20% of the 1900 fleet and because of this there is not need for classes in the near future and upgrade time goes up. In regards to the payment, Lakes is trying to find someone who will help refinance the aircraft. So far no joy and it has cost Lakes around a quarter million dollars just to keep extending the payments and also an increase in interest rates. The payment comes due again in a few days.

Whether you have to pay it or not, I doubt you are eligible for rehire if you don't honor your contract. This will show up on PRIA requests and effect your future employment opportunities

No it won't.

See:

http://www.faa.gov/pilots/lic_cert/p...20and%20PA.rtf

For the purposes of completing requests for information by AFS-620, the FAA defines reportable legal actions as: *“Summaries of FAA legal enforcement actions ‘resulting in a finding’ by the Administrator, of a violation that was ‘not subsequently overturned’.”
