Great Lakes is hiring street captains

[USMCmech]

I just got an unsolicited recruitment letter from Great Lakes. No mention of the horrible pay.


I think I'll pass.

You don't want to fly for free?

I'm willing to train for practically free, but not for free.

There is no single pilot/multi-crew type rating for the 1900 like some Citation types.

I am pretty sure there is both a single pilot type and a type with a FO restriction on the 1900. Almost certain.

I am pretty sure Ameriflight and Alpine Air operate the B1900 single pilot.

Its a restriction based on how you are checked, like a VMC circling limitation.

$28 an hour at GL? The guys getting hired at Mesa etc are only getting $22.50....

28/hour for a captain. It's terrible.

I'm 100% sure they do. And I have never heard of any restrictions as far as single/multi crew on the type.

This is the limitation for a friend of mine who used to work at Lakes:

BE-1900 SECOND IN COMMAND REQUIRED.

By the way, I know several people who have received recruiting letters at home in the mail from Great Lakes advertising for pilot positions.

The SIC limitation is due to their training program. They train and take a checkride with an SIC. That requires the limitation since they don't demonstrate single pilot proficiency.

I'm itching for the call from my dream airline, and what shows up in the mail? A great lakes advert. SMH.

Well, if you're going to fly a B1900 anyway, why not make some money at it ? A little birdie told me this might be Afghanistan, but what the heck:

Probably not hiring lots of people but I'll go out on a limb here and say it pays more than GLA.
