I was contacted by APPP, but they are located on the other side of the country for me.

There are other avenues, try Airnet, Scenic, Piedmont, AMF...there are alot of companies that will hire with low (or very little) multi.

In terms of timebuilding, you DON'T have to spend $10,000. All you really need at this point is about 30-50, and perhaps the MEI. I'm thinking of doing some of that at Skymates next month.
