Think Guard or AF. Look into the National Guard in Buffalo. You never know!

HercDriver130 is right. Someone having ATP/5000 hours/4800 ME and can't get a job...Oh yeh that's me. I am part of the biggest unemployed pilots union...no dues required just understanding and compasion.

But, if you want to fly....CFI will allow to to gain hours and maintain currency. I was a military flight IP and learned more in my first two months to last a life time. Example: Gave a student an simulated engine out in the crosswind turn..he stepped on the wrong rudder and I wasn't ready for it. The homes never looked so close. But after nine years of being an IP, it is some of the most rewarding flying you will do...Nothing tops the smile when someone finally figures it out.

Keep the faith in the industry and it will turn around.
