And like I said... I wouldn't be complaining if my "useful times" were getting me somewhere faster haha. I'm grateful for the experience I've received in such little time. But that is exactly my point... if I'm not finding a job, how hard must it be for a lot of other guys in my shoes?
Well....this is where I would focus A LOT of my time and energy right now if I were you when I wasn't trying to get my CFI/II/MEI.
Consider it the easy part of networking since you have already got a foot in the door. Flying a King Air - I understand how *hard* it can be to get in and out of the thing, but for such a time building opportunity getting the holy grail of low time (multi-turbine), it would take more than a *tweaked back* to put me on the sideline
Get a massage, go try acupuncture, see a Chiropractor, take Aleve, see a regular doctor if you must - but get fixed and back on the fly list!
