GREAT LAKES AIRLINES (Part 61 First Officers - DEN, STL)

Is this a typo or did I miss read something?

No. Not a typo, they are hiring for CERTIFICATION: PILOTS, FLIGHT INSTRUCTORS, AND GROUND INSTRUCTORS operations.

So I have done a search and can't find what I'm looking for. What are the work rules like at Lakes? Days off? Ready Reserves? and such...

Like he said, readytocopy.com is where you want to go to get accurate information from actual Lakers. Search the site extensively before asking questions on there, though. Quick picture of hour limitations/ days off: 14 hours duty, 8 hours flying, 34 hours per week, 120 hours per month, 1200 hours per year, 24 off in 7, 10 days off, 75 hour guarantee, at least 3 sets of 3 days off in a row monthly.
Almost all lines have greater than 10 days off. I would say average line has 12-14 days off monthly. Mostly just the "stand up overnight" (highspeed) lines, and reserve schedules have 10 days off. Best lines have 15-16 days off, all 3-4 day trips separated by 3-4 days off, weekends off, etc. Hot reserve is normally part of a reserve schedule. Expect 1 day of hot reserve every week to two weeks while on a reserve schedule. Hot reserve limited to 8 hours per day, from what I remember. Any more info needed, hit up readytocopy.com. I don't know how long people are spending on reserve. Upgrades are happening at a good pace, but may slow soon. We are stacked with FOs at this point, but are still ramping up for more expansion, more airplanes, servicing more cities, etc., etc., etc. We need upgrades and airplanes, from my observations. Airplanes are the key, though. This is way off the thread topic, but I thought I'd oblige, to prevent the creation of another thread about Lakes.
