There are tons of opportunities at smaller companies but not many people from what I can tell will risk their reputation within the company recommending someone the know through forums.



Also again my opinion, but I would never sign a contract to work somewhere to gather experience. If a contract is necessary that throws up a flag to me that pilots aren't wanting to stay and the company culture could suck.



Good luck job searching
