Just an update to anyone following this thread....I found a job for a part 135 operator in Florida. I'll be flying a Navajo on runs to the Bahamas and all over the southeast. Pay is very good for a 135 op.

Note: I think I got this job due to my proximity to the airport, as well as barely qualifying for part 135. The interviewer said he had about 700 resumes but they were from people all over the country. He wanted someone nearby and someone he can mold, rather than a highly experienced 135 guy that wants to do things his way.

There are jobs out there guys, you just have to look, and in my case, live nearby. If you need any guidance let me know. I'll tell you what I do to find jobs.
