Return to aviation: SoCal jobs?

Hello guys.

I quit my Part 121 job about 3 years ago and wish to return to a flying job here in Southern California. Have about 7000 hours and two types, BE1900 and EMB145.

I am interested in the fractional/corporate business. Not looking to return to the airlines.

What is the word on good, stable companies to work for in SoCal? I am mainly interested in jobs out of SNA, LGB, LAX, SAN areas.

I just sent my resume to NetJets and Swift and Clay Lacy, but was wondering about other opportunities.

Thanks in advance!

Just off the top of my head,
Flexjet
Jetsource, CRQ
Petersens, VNY
And the plethora of corporate outfits around those area's.
I would start droping resumes at all the FBO's, networking, and of course get current again somehow!

Don't really know a ton about the company, but West Coast Charters has been looking for people. They fly King Air 90, 200 and 350's as well as Some Citations and Lears, with bases in LGB and SNA. I think that the website is westcoastcharters.com. They do 135 and 91 work.

Try XO Jet also- they are growing like crazy and evidently they pay pretty well. I believe Citation Shares also has some California basing. I work for NJA and would recommend us over all the others, but if you want to get back in the cockpit, you should have as many options as possible to start out again. Good luck.

I know there's a guy who keeps a Legacy at French Valley, but I don't know who he is or of he needs anyone.

I'll be the first to admit this post was next to worthless.

Try Avjet out of Burbank. They are a descent 135 outfit. They're hiring into a couple different jets right now. Check out their website avjet.com. If you have any questions let me know.
