OK. Let me put it this way. I could give two Sh#$s about Great Lakes Airlines. I am not defending them or recruiting for them. My initial post was just saying that if you are chasing the fast upgrade, and did not care about compensation, then it was just as good a choice as any other regional. My second post was arguing the comparison of it to Go Jet. I have never heard Velo say that he would deny a jumpseat to someone from Great Lakes. If it was on his list, I would consider them possibly shady. Now before any of you accuse me of making my decisions on what Velo says, it was a joke. Finally, I think anyone at any airline can find something that sucks bad. You will make more flipping burgers than you would at any regional, except maybe two, first year. One thing I learned long ago is not to do this for the money. In the military we had a saying. Choose your rate, choose your fate. Same thing here. Make your choice, then deal with all the consequences. Don't read anymore into it than that.
