Are you asking something or just passing on the info?

Those mins seem pretty darn high for $21/ hour... especially considering all the places that will take you for a lot less and pay you the same... just my $.02

I believe the mins are high for quick upgrades. I am sure they will come down once they get some folks on property and don't need to fill so many left seat positions.

Well I guess I was more just passing the info on. But the minimums seem to be pretty high (for todays market that is). But they would be an option in the Denver area. The other regionals would be Skywest, Rupublic, Mesa, and Great Lakes. I wonder what the best company would be for the Denver area.

On a side note, when I started my training way back when, I always wanted to fly for Great Lakes because they go into my small home town. Thanks to this site, I now understand that Great Lakes is one of the worst (if not the worst) for pay and training. Just another thanks from me for this GREAT site!!! It has been a plethora of info!!

I agree, GIA emailed me stating that they "prefer" applicants with 1500TT for quicker upgrades.
