These other guy will probably tell you to hold out for a real airline like United and Delta... Also according to some people here, the people that like working at Lakes are not real. They are a figment of your imagination... |

What I'm trying to say is that there are good and bad points for working at any company. NO company is perfect for anyone. You have to just look at what a company has to offer and decide if its right for you. Thats what I did with Lakes and it worked. There are people at Lakes (and many other regionals) that don't like it there and there are people who do. Anytime anyone makes a blanket statement about a place, you know they are full of.... well, you know. (I liked it there but I'm not saying it is the right place for everyone). I encourage you to talk with people about their EXPERIENCES (not opinions) and then decide for yourself...

I am happy, and I work at Great Lakes. Management still sucks hind mammary, but the people, the aircraft, the environment, and the overnights rock. Though I'm trying my hardest to leave, I know I'll miss it terribly.

ATTENTION everyone: I can now say I have heard and seen everything on this board! I can count at least two dozen + people I know who have worked at Lakes (Most but not all of them flew in the mid 90's - Spencer, IA days) and not one of them has ever said they liked working at GREAT LAKES! I guess there is always a first for everything! Thank You!

Yay $15 an hour! Yay $27 an hour for captain! Teamsters is doing a great job there... oh wait they are the same regional that represents gojets!
Shooting ourselves in the foot.... On a side note nwa, what is an MEII rating? PHX is short of pilots right now, but with so few, it's hard telling as to when you'd be able to be based down there. I would agree with the others and say that it's likely within a few months of your hire date. Best of luck. |
