How hard is it to find a traffic watch job? And Where?

Contact Exodus Air in Lancaster, CA (fox field - KWJF). They fly for a couple of different radio stations throughout the LA area. GREAT experience in congested area. Forget the owners name, but he is a serious Christian, FYI (thats a good thing as far as i'm concerned). Crew is changing all the time as folks move on to better jobs. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I would advise that you can send your resume out to the regionals before you start your CFI and see if any bite. As for your CFI Kalamazoo has two places: Great Lakes Aviation and Fly Kalamazoo (operated as a club their 172 is instructed by Matt George past CRJ200 FO for ACA)

Skydiving gig in south central mi
 

There's a skydiving outfit in Tecumseh MI, at meyers divers field that takes low time guys to fly a 182.

As long as you not too heavy! I was told to look elsewhere because I was too heavy, and at the time I only weighed about 210lbs!

Scenic and Grand Canyon airlines in Vegas will look at you.

American Winds Flight Academy in Akron, Ohio will give you free CFI and II training in return for a 1 year contract agreement. Check them out, www.teachmetofly.com

really? Whats their pay like?

NO315, I also have been researching into low-time SIC positions with 135 operators. I just recently got my private ticket, and am working on instruments in the mid-michigan area. Hopefully following up with commerical and CFI's then ME. Like teaching, and intend to instruct, but also very intrested in getting into a 135 operation and building ME time. I've looked into central airsouthwest, and airnet, would like more info regarding the PTK DTW operators. I know central airsouthwest unfortunately lost two planes this year. I don't think i have PM yet, (new member) but feel free to email me [email protected]. I'm from the same general area as you with the intent to travel a similar path.

Good luck

Wow, you guys are all so nice! Maybe somewhere without spell check!:D

But really, go get more time. Would you consider flying in Asia? Might be the best bet in the near term. Industry will be bad in the US for 5+ years IMHO.
