Default It's still possible...

There are still jobs out there, if you are willing to go to them or work non-traditionally. Right now I have 4 jobs, all in aviation, and 1 not in aviation. I had to beat the bushes and be very persistent. The problem, obviously, is that none of them pay well enough to rely on, hence 5 jobs. I instruct at 2 different schools, fly part-time on-demand charter (PIC Navajo and Baron) and fly for an individual non-pilot owner. I also have a reputation where I get calls from other people for day trips, aircraft deliveries, etc... In this environment, you have to be very flexible. I'm talking to 3 other companies about part-time flying employment. You have to show your face. 1900 hrs. TT, ATP, CFI, CFII, MEI. Turned down a Great Lakes offer in Feb. Couldn't take the pay cut.
