What are you talking about you just said you see several of your colleagues moving off. There's your foot in the door. Get on your company forum and get their emails if you don't already have their numbers. It's up to YOU to make the contacts. Every person you fly with is a potential contact. Get in touch, don't be afraid to send an email or give a call.
