You could also have your resume walked in if you know someone.

I'm curious what led you wanting to apply at Great Lakes?

Not trying to start anything here... just merely curious.

Kind of running out of options here....

Just 30 multi, that's what's hurting me.

I sent Great Lakes a resume through email and they sent me an email back pretty quick stating that they would review it. Have you done your research on Great Lakes? I've read nothing good except an upgrade time in the ballpark of one year. Turbine PIC is supposedly gold.

Turbine PIC is earned there. Try 8-9 legs a day and short overnights day after day after day. Oh, and they don't pay you enough to eat. But you get that turbine PIC! Someday you might get to use it when you apply to a major, say 2009 or 2010. Maybe I'm just a slacker, but I'll take an APU, 12 hour overnight, and wait another year or two for captain.

I'd just like to put food on the table, at least for me.

I was in your shoes a couple years ago. I really wanted to work at Great Lakes. Everyone I met said to hold off. In retrospect, I'm glad I did.

Now that's not to say that your situation is the same or even similar to mine, but realize what you're asking for before you commit. With that said, I haven't met anyone who has anything bad to say about the pilots there. That is important.

Even if the regionals is your goal at this step in your career, have you considered maybe going the cargo route so you can build up some more total time, and eventually multi time?

Cargo operators last I looked were hiring guys with your experience.

 

[RichardRambone]

Gotta have those 135 mins for most cargo. Id prefer to fly single pilot myself. From my looking around its best to stick with what Im doing until I get those mins but when you're washing planes for flight time a place like Great Mistakes looks real good.

Got shot down by Airnet for the SIC, don't have IFR 135 mins to apply anywhere else. Flying my butt off lately, but with fall coming up, it'll be tough getting those last 200 hours.

 

[RichardRambone]

Airnet I guess is night cargo which doesnt suite my bag. Im gonna try and hold out for Ramair if I can stand it.

Find someone else who needs multi time and split the cost. There are much better options once you get 100ME
