I have a wife that wants to go to Arizona State University and is going to be getting a PhD in chemistry. Thus, I would like to live in the Phoenix area, and have a quick upgrade...the pay is low but the upgrade is fast...that is what is attractive about them. Now...does anyone have a response to my question?

Give great lakes some credit...at least they aren't replacing Mad Dogs and 73's like the other PHX airline

...Whoa I don't want to say it... .....it's killing me to try to say it... ....what about Mesa? Fly there Dash 8's out of PHX. A little better pay, a little better respect (actually NO), and a little better money. They're hiring street CA so upgrade is quick.My advice, have her go to a different school or commute. Neither airline is really worth it!
OR, get hired my Pan Am International Flight Academy and instruct for them. They pay $15 and hour, you can easily fly 100 hours a month and if you commit to a year you can work in their Korean program for 30K a year. I instructed there and they need CFI’s.

There is no sure way to get the D-8 at Mesa...they will hire you and assign your aircraft at the end of indoc. Also the dash training program at mesa is run by a pack of legendary tools...it has an EXTREMEMLY high attrition rate, like 30% for FO's
Failing your first 121 training event is a great way to get your airline career off on the right track

Sabina is also hiring instructors like crazy out there. 20K a year gaunrteeed plus $12 perr flight hour.
But just remember commuting from any decent sized city on the west coast in and out of Phoenix is EASY!! There are so many flights. I know I do it!
