Gulfstream G450/V/550 jobs
I recently lost my G550 job after the jet went away. I am willing to move/travel to anywhere in the world. However, I'd prefer to stay in the U.S. If possible. For what ever reason, I can't seem find work at all. Any info would be very much appreciated.

Seriously, you could earn a lot of money flying on an overseas contract. A few guys I knew went to Hong Kong and Macau and they are always looking.
I saw you poking around in the regional threads and I know what you're thinking...but don't do it....you'll hate it.
When you go to FlightSafety or CAE for GV training YOU are the customer and are treated like royalty. Go to a regional and get treated like a bottom feeder (because that's what you'd be) who is lucky to be there and you better do what you're told or you'll wash out along with the other 1500 hour n00bs who consider themselves your equal. And I hope you like staying in 2 star motels with roaches because no more JW Marriott for you! And if you want a rental car during training or a layover....better beg and steal to afford it.
I know you are thinking you'd like to get a job at a regional so the majors will notice you but you'll hate that too. Asia is a very fun and cool place to be...take your family, live like a king. You'll make more money in five years than you could in twenty years taking the airline route.
