Your best bet up in DC will be Manassas (KHEF). There are a few operators there that have been posting jobs pretty consistently. Chantilly Air comes to mind.

Also, as others have said, flying is very little of the job on the 91/135 side. You have heavy experience that is probably mostly international. That's great, but it does not qualify you to be a Gulfstream or Global Captain. Especially since you've never flown on the business jet side. There is a lot of coordination required for International trips that you have never been a part of. Aim for a position as large cabin SIC or small/mid PIC.

Thanks SrfN,

I know I don't know everything (or much at all) about 91/135 and I think your advice about SIC/PIC options is spot on.
