to give you a heads up on the outside of the aircraft, i got laid off from my job. since i don't have the competitive experience to fly airlines, i decided to work the ramp in corporate and network on building time. also, i know the government is cutting back and some friends who worked at the county is also waiting impatiently for their unemployment check. i would get in anyhow i can if i was you and move up from there. also, have you considered flying in a different country? well the fact that you are willing to move may be good as well. try part 135 or part 91 ops. good luck and hang in there. things will get better soon.
