Bahadir: Thanks for your witticisms! Joe, I appreciate your trip report. It appears that Great Lakes does a half way decent job. I wish commuter airlines up here in the Northeast were as reliable. I will say that the B-1900 is a fast plane. Flew on them twice: Boston to Portland, ME and Boston to Presque Island, ME. Fast plane. Actually, the pilots I interviewed were very proud of their airline. They were, however, realistic about the pay, but each I spoke to was looking to build time quickly so they could advance to the majors. And for most pilots here in the U.S., that's what life is about. Mike Burris Cambridge, Mass __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
