I know of 3 people who interviewed at Airtran this year, 2 (at least) at Southwest, 2 people waiting in the pool at Alaska, one who interviewed at Fedex, and several who interviewed at AmWest..Hell, one guy even got a call from Amwest and southwest in the same day!! In the last year over 10% of the pilot group has either gone to majors or LCC's, or at least interviewed at them. PIC turbine is the name of the game. And you get it fast at Lakes. I know of many ex-lakers who went to bigger and better things (ie: other regionals) and are either on the street (many guys from aca) or real nervous right now (ie: the air whiskey guys). While the guys who toughed it out are sitting in the right seat of 737's or 717's after spending about 4 1/2yrs at lakes!!

gt1900 said:Its just most people at lakes bail before they become competitive. 1000 hrs PIC is not the magic number anymore. At 2000 hrs you can start to become competitive (3000hrs and you are sitting pretty). Add 2 types and a check-airmen letter and you are golden. And from what I saw when I was there, that was the case, and will continue to be so!! No hard feelings!
