Freight/cargo question
Does anyone know of any good cargo companys to fly for around Las Vegas area. Or of any good flying jobs period. I have been teaching in FL for several years and am moving to Vegas. I do not want to teach any more! Any info?

dont take this the wrong way ....things are tough all over . I really doubt anyone can point you to any cargo job in vegas or almost anywhere west for that matter . I think you should bite the bullet and continue to instruct .
now is a really bad time to not want to flight instruct . |

West Air, Inc. Air Cargo Delivery Provider Since 1988 Doesn't look like they're hiring right now. |
My advice on this subject is alway the same. When you get to Vegas start knocking on hangars and throwing your resume out everywhere. I wouldn't stop at cargo. There's a lot of GA and 2 satellite airports (that I know of) in the area. This is a constantly changing industry. Someone's loosing an aircraft, someone else is gaining one and may need crews. It may be a short term gig, or could be a career. But you've got to pound the pavement.

Hit up the tour operators as well. This is their slow season but stopping in with resume shows that you are interested when the season rolls around.

Is West Air single pilot operations?

if you can get a job now |
Well, currently teaching in Korea and will be headed to vegas next year so hopefully things will be looking up. There will be a pilot shortage within the next ten years, just not sure how long to hold out.

As far as the "pilot shortage" I wouldn't hold my breath. |
Pa46 that changes everything ...I think things will be settled down by then.... good luck!!l

I've been hearing about the "pilot shortage" for over a decade...
Lots of ways to solve it without benefitting me unfortunately... |
