Well I am back looking for flying jobs and not having much luck since most of the seasonal jobs are in mid swing or on the way out,620 TT commercial single/multi instrument rated. close to 400 of that is from dropping divers in a 182. I dont mind dropping divers but not getting cross country time sucks as well as sitting at the DZ all day not getting paid waiting for the clouds or wind to change. Plus in Michigan all the small stuff shuts down for like 7 months of the year.

I figure if I am going to work min wage or labor jobs while waiting for a flight job to open up I might as well move someplace not freezing cold like Michigan and hopefully because of the warmer weather and longer summers there will be more low time jobs. I am thinking of TN,NC,SC,GA,FL etc as I think they would be places I would like to live.

The question is though, how do you find the low hour jobs? back when I was on climb to 350 it was all the same regional jobs or overseas ones wanting thousands of hours. I know some people in Michigan that got on with North country but I never saw them advertise and if I had not heard about through a friend I would not even know they exist.

I figure there has got to be companies like them, or other small charter/ freight companies but in other states, the thing is how do I find them? I mean showing up to every airport in a state asking would take forever in time and a lot in gas.

I tried looking for air tours/ air taxi but all I see is helicopter ones,I know people do plane tours, but I cant seem to find any. Is there a site that is more for low time/part time jobs than the expensive climb to 350?

Even just to narrow it down a bit would help, IE no jobs now but this is a hot spot for jobs, so just get a regular job for now and on the days off hit the FBO in the area and someone will have something sometime. I just dont want to pick a state and move only to find out that I am in the wrong spot and all the jobs are in airports at the other end of the state etc

Thanks guys.
