Kalitta Air parked the last 747-200 last month. That was probably the last FE position in the USA on a large turbojet. There are a few carriers that still operate aircraft that require an FE but also a lot of guys walking around with FE time so I would imagine that the operators that need engineers probably have their pick. These guys still fly the DC-6 and might need engineers.
