I’d avoid Florida 135 unless you’re well acquainted with the operation.

Thank you!
Out of touch much?

Some operators capitalize on this by having people fly planes that shouldn't be flown or pay them peanuts (or less). Not to say there aren't some good gigs in the area, but most of them are going to want more than wet ink commercials (because they can afford to be picky).

Have you looked at Mokuele(spelling?) out of Hawaii?
Silver Airways has a CPL-only entry program.
That’s in Florida.

Look into Cape Air, IBC Airways, and PlaneSense.

I could be wrong, I've only met with their recruiters a couple of times (free pizza is free pizza after all).

As somebody else mentioned, survey. I got on with a picto vender because I could not find much in NE FL / JAX at 500hr. Now I'm at 800hr with 250 multi, so it builds quick. 4 weeks on, 2 off. Not sure that'll work with the kids, but worth mentioning. Pay is terrible, but you're trading your time for the flight time. So I continue to look for 135 jobs in the area, but they seem to fill without advertising. Good luck.

As someone else mentioned, Cape would be a good gig if you were up for commuting out of Florida and being gone 4-5 days a week. They will take you around 500. Planesense, not so much as they increased their FO mins to 1000hrs unless you have internal recommendation. Looks like Silver is willing to fork over 10k on your CFI/II/and MEI. Not sure that amount will get you all of those but its a start if your up for signing a contract.
