FMI,

I don't know of any of our pilots that were straight corporate. However, with that said, Focus Air (and others I presume) are looking for pilots with a background in heavy jets and with experience flying one week to South America, the next week to the Ukraine, and the following week all over Asia and Africa.

If I may add my opinion, if you can highlight in your resume and in conversation any of the above qualities, than by all means send something to the Chief Pilot of any of these Cargo carriers. I was hired at Focus with no 747 time at all. However, I had other resume items that made up for it, and knew a network of pilots already employed there. Both of which, I think are equally important.

Bottomline, if you can network and market yourself as to having what they can prosper from, by all means start the process.
