Even if your Chuck Yeager on floats, I'm not sure about immediately finding a job by wandering around up here.

Take Flight and other flight schools hire instructors. LAB and a few other 135 operators may hire people at 135 minimums (500 hours). Many 135 operators want more time, or Alaska time. A 121 FO job will require fewer hours than most 135 pic jobs. Then there are Cargo FE and FO jobs.

I got my first job by calling every operator and speaking with the chief pilot or someone involved in hiring. I was offered a slot in ground school, with the unspoken provision that I prove I could actually fly. Got my second job by cold calling the chief pilot in person.

How many hours do you have?
