Hello all,

Looking for some advice here and maybe even some help! I'll start with my background. I was a Corporate Pilot for 11+ years flying Hawker 800XP's. Started as co-pilot and then closed the department in 2009 as Flight Department Manager/Chief Pilot. As many of you know this was not a good time to be on the street. Since that time I have flown single/multi engine piston for day rates, flown contract in an single turbine amphibian and some Hawker contract, although not enough to pay for school. Pretty tough couple of years to say the least. About a year ago I was lucky enough to get a job flying a B727 then was able to move to the B767. I am grateful for the job, but it pays about a third of what I used to make, with no real potential to make much more than half what I made. The quality of life, well there is none.

I very much want to get back into Corporate Aviation, but have had no luck in the past 2.5 years. I have been calling all the people in the World I know and lots I don't know, applied to every posting for pilots, no matter what type. Every once In a while I get a request for more info, via e-mail then it drops off. I am wondering if some perceive my former Flight Department Manager/Chief Pilot position a threat? It should not be, as I have had my turn, and I have to say I enjoy just doing my duty and going home. Also, I'm wondering if my 121 time in big aircraft is hurting me. I know the international flying has been good for me as far as procedures go. I though it might help me find a job in a Gulfstream or Global Express, but I'm not sure you can actually get a job in a Gulfstream unless you have already flown it. Chicken or the egg argument, I just don't know.

Anyway, sorry for the long post, I just need some constructive input.
My total time is 9000 hours, 3300 jet, 2700 PIC turbine typed in HS-125,B737,B757,B767. SIC type in BE400,B727

Thanks in advance
