For all those wondering about not getting called, consider that the stack of resumes on the desk of the pilot recruiter(s) exceed the stack on my desk. My flight school hasn't hired in three years, yet the stack of resumes from the last two months exceeds five inches. I'm sure Ameriflight's stack exceeds two feet.

Next, consider your time. Are you one of the children of the pink line? Was your last IPC in a glass cockpit aircraft? Did you just graduate from flight school and have zero to little IMC time? Are you out there actively instructing and taking your students into the clouds as the weather allows? Are you doing whatever you can to meet the image of a pilot flying single pilot IFR, and night hard IMC at that?

Or are you sitting around your Mom's basement feeling sad for yourself because you think no one is hiring from all the online apps you've filled out?

There *are* opportunities out there. Perhaps those opportunities are in east bumnowhere, or you might need five roommates to make the rent payment, or it's not where you want to live today? If you really want to get a job, get out of the house and go meet people. It's not always successful, and sometimes you get to do what you don't want to do, or get paid a lot less than you want, or fly something other than a shiny whatever, but there ARE opportunities out there. Cast a wide net, go out and meet people, get out and ask questions, and keep trying.

Best of luck all!
