Knew a guy from flight school who signed on with Great Lakes a couple of years back. GL has a great group of pilots but some of the lowest starting pay in the industry (around $15/hr I think), however, you can upgrade fairly quickly there if I recall correctly. The flying will really sharpen your skills and Denver is a great town to live in. From what my friend told me only 2 types of people fly for GL - the ones who are just building up time to get on with another regional and those who are staying on to get the 1000 PIC.

would it seriously be possible to live on roughly 15k a year in denver?

 

[Trogdor]

It is possible to live in DEN on 15.30 an hour if you live with friends. It might suck for a year, but you can upgrade fast and start making decent money.

Lakes is hiring about 10 a month for the foreseeable future. Upgrades are running quick depending on how much time you get hired with, around one year. As always internal recommendations are highly valuable.

Trogdor - other then knowing a pilot at Great Lakes any idea on how to get an internal recomendations? I could handle the $15.30 cause I have a few friends in Denver and would love to live there.

Are any pilots based in ABQ (albuquerque) either -- it seems like you work there or know a few people there.

How about if you have a family? Is $15/hr feesible to live off of?

 

[frog_flyer]

you'd be better off at wal-mart or mcdonalds

 

[Cardinal]

Yes, you would be from an economic perpsective. No base in ABQ, just PHX.

Who is the pilot recruiter at Great Lakes? If anyone could provide a name, position title, and phone number that would be extremely appreciated. I sent my resume a few months ago and never heard anything besides a letter saying they received my resume. Thanks.

I loved my time at GLA even at $10 an hour...1 year later $35 hour and apt rent at 350 mth. Living large!
