Stand in line chief, I've been on the street since November '08, other than getting an Olympic water-treader position in the XJ hiring pool, I have heard nothing from anywhere else.
Go find a job outside of aviation for a while, I am doing computer course design and programming until I get recalled. Making about the same as a second year FO at a 'better' paying regional and home with the fiancee every night. There are good jobs outside of aviation.... now about that Riddle debt you stuck yourself with...

I'm a ERAU grad myself, and if I were you I would contact the university to see what kind of position they could offer you. If they they don't have immadiate openings, they might be able to give you some leads. Contact the Career Services Office for Alumni:
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University
Career Services staff list Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University
Good luck brother.

Kind of like applying for a job and they want experience , so how does one go about getting experience if he cannot get hired?

I'm joining the ANG as an air traffic controller. You could look into that. Military experience will look good down the road and you can keep pursuing flying later on while getting leave for the guard. Plus, when the boards come around, you can apply for a flight slot, too. Good luck

I'm guessing it might be a little higher than the FAA, maybe 35, just to throw a number out there. Best bet is to go talk to your local recruiter and check.
