Well it's not 14K aweful everywhere but yes, we should make more.

I just got an email from great lakes, interviews this friday (the 9th) and the 16th. They dont provide transportation to the interview, nor paid training. Place sounds like a joke.

You try Silver? Paid training, per diem every hour of training, hotel provided, transportation provided (except the interview), same equipment, and (slightly) better pay.

If you're getting time in a C550 I'd stay right where you're at.

Where did you guys send your resume for Silver? I sent it to the pilot recruiting email address and got an immediate failure message.

I love the 550 (when the work is steady). I havent touched the thing in almost a month though and to supplement income im currently flying a desk. Honestly I could care less about the airlines (or who I work for), I just want some wings and a steady check. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that some local corporate work opens up but it's sketchy right now. https://inside.gulfstreamair.com/emp...ils.aspx?id=60 is the direct link to the page to apply for the silver job. It says you can fax or apply online. Hope this helps.

It did help. I am short on GL's 90 day multi time requirements by less than 3 hours and I'm at 9x their total multi requirement. I think I still might be dead in the water there.

I am looking for something commutable out of DEN. My family situation makes it so that I can not make my wife move with me. I'm having to look at a few places that I wouldn't normally consider under idea conditions and as time passes (I'm not currently flying) even they become more illusive.

Honestly, Silver might be a good bet if you can, and probably will, get Billings. All shifts start late in the day, or end early in the day, making for a very easy commute (this is hear-say, I havent been up there yet). Go to the page listed a few posts above and send a resume to the @aol.com address listed at the bottom (thats the private recruiters email). Things are a bit slow, you might hear something back 5 minutes later like I did, or two weeks later. It also doesn't hurt to give him a call, he's a really cool guy. If you guys have any questions, feel free to PM me or go to the Silver thread (after all, this is a GL thread).

same boat as im married and have a house and have no desire to move for 24.00/hr.It sounded like they would bend on the 90 day requirement but who knows, they will find something to be picky about and stick with it. Good luck though.
