Hello Friends,

I am a military pilot that is begining to research my flight options for after the completion of my training in 2013. My wife and I are particuarly interested in relocating to the Chicago area where there are more opportunites for both of our career fields.

My question is this. With my qualifications listed below do I have a chance with any corporate, air taxi or fractional entity around Chicago?

-Bachelors Degree from Western Mchigan University in Aviation Science and Admin (Private, Instrument and Commercial license earned at WMU)
-6 years Airline Operations Experience

-500 hours total time-
--318 Multi
--265 Turbine
--105 Turbo Jet

-Type Rated Hawker 400a

The numbers listed above are my best guess at what I will finish with. My seasoning orders and time back at base flying may provide me with an additional 100-200 hours of flight time all multi-turbine. I know that I am a fairly low time pilot but I am hoping that the turbine and military expereience that I have might help out.

Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on flying jobs that I should pursue in the Chicago area with these qualifications? Any positive feedback would be greatly appreciated.


Cheers
