Default Freight operators -- day 135 mins

Just wondered if anyone out there knows of freight ops that hire pilots with the day 135 mins of 500TT. I know this will attract alot of fire from some of the folks here but i need to get things going.

We may be entering a slow time in the industry but i am not going to stop flying and i hope everyone here does not blast me. I just need to make a living and i am exploring ALL options.

When times get tuff things begin to back up all the way down the line. If there are any 135 cargo outfits that are hiring most likely they will have a stack of resume's to go through from laid off airline pilots.

If I were you I would plan on instructing for a few years. Jump on the best CFI gig you can find and dig in.

With those times, you'd probably have better luck at a parachute operation, traffic watch, pipeline patrol, or scenic 135 type of flying. The season is obviously off right now for some of those.
