You'll need to start looking in different Global resources for the jobs, but they're out there. Bear in mind that this is not for everybody, but for those that like it, it can be a rewarding experience.

It has been slower going than I would like, but for the past 3 years I have been an independent flight instructor in Seattle and I charge my students what I feel my time is worth. I am reaching the point in my career where I would like to be flying bigger, better and faster planes. From what I have heard, most regional airlines seem to fall into the "prostitution" catagory. I have the patience and would like my next move to be a career move as opposed to a time building move. That said, is there anyone in the corporate world, preferably in the Pacific NW, who is sincereley happy with their aviation employment?

... cough.. remember when you make posts like this, your user-name reveals where your from, try not to make us look too bad, eh? :-) Even if you have a point.. be sympathetic if possible?
