Utah?
Hey everyone, how's it going? Just wondering if anybody knows any good news regarding jobs in Utah and her surrounding states? Anything at all from crop dusting and banner tow to CFI and 135 operations would be appreciated. I hate to basically ask the same question as everyone in the Hiring News threads, but not a lot of talk about Utah goes on here at APC so I had to ask. 
Thanks!
Thanks!

Well the only flight schools I know of are G&B Flight outta Skypark (BTF), OK3 Air in Heber (U42??) and Westminster at SLC.
Other 135 stuff, Ameriflight does cargo flying from SLC in 99s, 1900s and Metro, they are hiring last heard (be prepared to risk life and limb, not to mention your certificate, when you fly for them). Last week I saw a banner towing aircraft down by SL number 2, first time in my life I have ever seen one in Utah. Ogden and Tooele have skydiving places but they are really hard to get in with. And there are a few charter places that run from SLC to Moab.
If you really want a comprehensive list of places that fly I might suggest calling the FSDO in SLC and talking to the ASI that oversees them.

Ya this is the problem with Utah, some real beautiful and challenging flying but it is hard to get in with anyone. I only have roughly 600TT (at least I'm up to 135 VFR minimums though), so I'm sure many of you have felt my struggle. I haven't even been wheels up and PIC in almost 6 or 7 months!
Thanks for the input so far though, I'd love to hear more if anyone else has an edge... that they're willing to share
