Sounds like a great airline... and you top out at 15K as an FO, 35 as a captain?... sweet. Thats barely flying for food.

You don't top out at 15K as an FO nor 35K as Captain, but it's not exactly much more. It is what it is.

I'm sure more will come out on the 17th of this month which is when I believe another payment is due. I don't think they will be going under though.

Really, they want proficiency, not just currency. IFR current is much different than proficient in my eyes. I've seen and talked to applicants who did as little as they could and showed up to class with IFR currency as of "x" number of months ago and failed miserably in the sim. Unfortunately, "current" doesn't cut it hand flying a 1900 sim or EMB sim while learning callouts, memory items, and procedures. If I had any suggestions, show up IFR current AND proficient. Hop in a sim (ms flight sim even) and make sure you scan is top notch. Even basic sim time will get your scan where it is needed to succeed in training.

As far as going out of business, don't count on it. Sorry to dissapoint some of you. I guess us "bottom feeders" just keep on screwing up your industry, huh?

So every pilot interviewing with GLA has to buy their own plane ticket for the interview if they are not traveling from a base? That's crazy!!

Even at crap Colgan in 2007, they flew you out and back for your interview.

How does anyone afford GLA? Serious Question

They can't offer it as easily as say Eagle or whomever. How does anyone afford GLA? Serious answer I make good money now and I've been saving for the day when I would take a lower paying job. It doesn't hurt that my wife has a decent career.

I don't plan on moving on anytime soon. I'm saving up to buy a worm store! It's called, "I got worms".
