Gunt, Bradeku1008, and all others in the pool, furloughed, or instructing:

I realize that now is a difficult time to find an aviation job, but please do not give up looking! I live in base and very much enjoy working at PSA; however, they are not the only regional in town. Just today I noticed on APC's main page that FLTops.com is hosting another Chicago job fair. I went to the link and noticed that several regionals are hiring and will be attending the fair, including: Compass, American Eagle, Colgan, Mesaba, and Pinnacle. Furthermore, Compass' published mins for the job fair are 1400 TT and 800 ME. Granted, 800 ME may be steep for someone currently instructing, but for anyone on furlough, 800 ME may be possible (your CRJ time at PSA plus whatever multi time you got hired with). Additionally, your CRJ SIC type rating may give you a slight advantage at the job fair, as it demonstrates your ability to successfully complete a 121 training regimen and possibly save the hiring company money in training costs (less time to train you versus someone with no CRJ time in the sim). My point is simply to keep looking around for opportunities. I know opportunities are not as abundant as they were a few years ago, but never give up. "Luck" has a tenacious habit of finding the persistant!
