hey,blueline69,i'm working for great lakes in denver,and would be delighted to help u in any way i can.we have around 30 D models,and 8 emb-120's,and are rumoured to get some more.of all the beech operators out there,we offer many career advantages ,but pay is not one of them.currently we are running a new hire class a month,and will continue to do so for the next few.this is the fastest progression in the industry,but is not for the faint of heart,and as such is not for everybody.there are many different opinions out there,and by all means get an accurate portrayal to make up your own mind.it comes down to you in the end,for you only get out of this career what u put into it.anyway,i'm off the soapbox now.drop me a message,and i'll fill u in.
