Yeah I don't know. Their website says they're accepting resumes to fill "future needs", but who knows when that will be.

Where do the middle hour guys go? I have 1517 TT 688 ME and 449 TurboProp. This was marketable in '07 but doesn't seem to mean much in '09. I keep seeing numbers in the 2000+ with 1000 in type listed on WillFlyForFood.

Does anyone have any ideas? I'm flexible in residence, even overseas.

Good luck. I have almost 6000 TT and 2100 Pic Jet and three type ratings and I haven't been getting calls either. I have been working in aviation since I was 17 which was 19 years ago and I have never seen it so bad.

Even though I'm on the pilot roster for a 135 charter company, I fly maybe once a month right now. I was forced to go back to a previous employer throwing bags at the airport.

Thats true but a pilot with 10000+ wont work for $40 000.

Well that's relative good overseas if you already have time in type otherwise good luck. Unless you know of someplace to look I'm curious.

My dad have been a Captain for 30 yrs overseas before he died last week. I will tell you this, if you don't have connection you will never see the cockpit . I will tell this I know of pilot with no experience, but have 6000 or 9000 hrs of fake time, cant even talk with ATC. I am sorry but this is how overseas is.PM if you want to talk
