Great Lakes Update

For those who are fairly positive about GLA, what's their status? Hiring, expansion, reduction, mins, class dates, etc.

Thanks.

I was thinking about my upgrade... now I am thinking CDL!

Back to the origianl poster: Hiring=yes (EMB &1900) from a recent open house, mins=don't know, plans=expansion (w/Frontier & EAS in KS), Class Dates=supposedly 1 class a month

Expansion is actually negative, but that's the neat thing about Lakes - Attrition is so high that you can enjoy continued seniority progression and timely upgrade even in the face of a shrinking airline. I guess that's a fairly positive thing.

Does anyone know if Great Lakes is supposed to be getting jets?

Yes, GLA Is Getting Jets

Straight from the "man" himself in Cheyenne- Great Lakes is going to start getting RJs when an RJ can be had for less than 7 million dollars per copy. So this means that GLA will start getting RJs on about the 15th of never. In the mean time however, we are getting busses- Greyhound busses, and the best news is that yes, GLA flightcrew members will be able to jumpseat on the bus.
