Switching gears ... tell me about it. I have watched several friends over the last few years get out of the military and get hired by some great companies, but they still grip about the commute and time away from home. Meanwhile I'm coming up on my time to get out and virtually all the 121 carriers are done hiring. Yeah, sure, some are supposed to start this winter again, but with "merger mania" I'm not too sure about that.

I saw an ad on one of the jet websites for a co-pilot position with a local company. I sent my resume in right away. No $ figures were mentioned, but I'm interested to say the least. I just hope I get a shot at an interview since I'm already local and this isn't that big of a city.

Just be prepared to give 100 percent to making sure the people you fly are happy. It's really easy unless they are jerks but they are paying a lot to have that luxury and a little goes a long way. If you have this attitude and not the airline mentality of "what can the company do for me?", you will be very happy. Trust me I used to work for a "bend over and breathe into the pain" airline and wanted to strangle managment. Now I feel like I am treated like a member of the company as opposed to a liability. Also, do some research first because there are crappy 91 and 135 jobs just like there are crappy airline jobs! I would specifically look into how long the company has had a jet and how much the company relies on the jet to conduct there business. Also, the best predictor of the future of a flight department is its past. Best of luck!

Amen, brother. It's not finding "a corporate job" it's finding "the right corporate job". Not easy but worth it.

What do you guys know about the group at DAB? I presume they'd be a little light on the pay?
