Not good for any pilot.

Now that is detestable. They charge for training then they make you stay for two years? WHY??? So you are saying that a pilot would OWE THEM SOMETHING if they left before two years? That's messed up.

I hope nobody else would consider doing this. It just makes it harder for the rest of us to actually get paid!

I should hit 135 mins this week. That's great, just in time for NO JOB PROSPECTS. Or are there?

Dont give up man the thing you have going for you is alot of outfits will not hire furloughed 121 guys. (sorry guys but you know its true) So it may be possible to get on a freight gig etc. Hang in there man and stay away from a PFT gig. to the person who works for IBC I really hope you did not pay them a dime to be there.

I really hope I am wrong on this, but I haven't seen any signs that I'm not... I think it's going to get worse before it gets better. I've had 135 mins for a few months now and as near as I can tell, nobody is hiring... I warned that even flight instructig gigs are difficult to find and they are. The flight school that I worked for just laid me off last week and I'm filling out unemployment stuff... If you have a job right now, STAY THERE! This is NOT the time to be out an hunting for a better job! I do believe that the jobs will come back, but till then, stay where you are and you'll be happier in the long run. It may be miserable in the short run, but it's far better to be employed than unemployed right now.
