Idaho Flyer,

First off, great job on putting that bird with then engine failure down safely. Secondly, for right now you have a job, which many don't and it sounds as though it is at least paying the bills. Having said that, start looking really hard if you are not already. I would suggest some employment web sites like findapilot.com, etc.

Be really careful not to tip your hand with regards to this search, and don't make an announcement until a new job is a sure thing. I would request that a new potential employer not contact the present folks for references etc. until the last possible minute. If your Chief Pilot is sticking up for you and this is still how you are treated, it sounds as though he doesn't have much clout. Anyway, just my .02 and good luck with all.
