The only solution I think would suit you would to be a single pilot in a VLJ for a corporate outfit or air taxi, but as you know, jobs in this economy are hard to find. However, you will have to network into one of those outfits and will have to deal with a small number of passengers. I imagine a reputable operator of these VLJs will maintain them well. The smaller the operator, the more flight planning you will be doing...which you stated that you enjoyed.

Good Luck.

It sounds like you really want to get back into flying (the lack of CRM ability could be a drawback for any operator)
Well the lack of CRM is partialy a resolvable thing. Aided by the fact that I have formal CRM training both from school and from the Airline. So I know what to do, everything else is behaviorisim.

I'd PM you, but I haven't hit 25 messages yet. So when I do i'll let you know. And the winters have only gotten weirder.

Good Idea with the VLJs, were insurance/FAA letting 135 and corp fly single pilot in them yet? Hmm technicaly a Citation SP type rating could work too but I thought SP was for 91 only. Either way it will be a while untill 135 PIC time. But good stuff. Thanks.
