not intentionally going against the grain here, but if the fee won't hurt you too bad then climbto350 is probably the best place to be when searching for pilot work. while it is true that a lot of it is full of big jet contracts with airlines overseas, stuff still pops up on there from time to time that may interest you.

Avianation.com is way better than 350.

I just let my subscription end on Climbto350.com. I have been a member consistently for over 2 years now. 90% of the jobs are overseas in less desirable countries. Haven't tried Avianation yet though.

Wouldn't you be taking those odd jobs from furloughed co-workers looking for anything?

Not sure, to be honest, I was simply making an observation that most of the jobs on that site require 1000's and ATP as their listed mins. Im pretty sure being out of currency is going to kill a lot of us till the next hiring wave...sigh

PS, love your signature line, I have a buddy with a Pitts 12 with the M-14 and you should hear that puppy roar....its like music

I paid for a 350 membership and it found me a job flying a 172 around the country for over $60k/yr.

Then again, I'm pretty sure none of the "former jet-fliers" on furlough would lower themselves to such a position

What you can do is find a friend who has a climbto350 account and just use their password, or go halfies with some friends. If your nice enough I can lend you my buddies username/password.
