It does matter. I really does.

I would but I'm out of money and my credit line is maxed out

How would you get money to move for a new job? Whatever you do is going to take money to start.

That's why being a pro pilot is a rich kids game. You will have to fly whenever you can. Only down side is that your career will greatly lag better sponsored contemporaries. Good luck.

No, it's not.

JohnBurke,

I know you are much older and experienced, but I think you are too jaded and very dry. Look at all the responses on this thread and it is easy to realize how everyone is encouraging to the fellow. Yes, he is confused. Yes, he has low time. He is a human! We all do sometimes. We all need someone to lift us up at some point in the Journey of Life. I am sure you have had yours too. So why don't you spend your time mentoring and lifting up others instead of putting them down, as if it heals your ego.


As for Qualifications, we all have some. So I disagree when you say the fellow has no qualification. I bet there is some qualification you do not have, so please do not say that to someone else.
If you feel I am calling you out on this, you are right. I just did!

And please, please do not give me any of the "I am more experienced than you" banter...your experience has jaded you, but has made you too loud.

I realize my statement will raise a lot of debate, but I am not interested in any further ramblings with Mr Burke. I just think sometimes, he is unnecessarily too abrasive and it is in fact off putting.
Enough said.

Check out Ameriflight. They are hiring. Low mins.

Are they? Your reading comprehension is poor.

Who could possibly appreciate the plight of the original poster...except any one of us, we all having been there, done that? The business is a discriminator, not one of entitlement. Make your way. Opportunities offered, and yet the original poster isn't brave enough, isn't rich enough, isn't willing enough. It does take some measure of determination, and lacking that at the poster's present experience and certification level, the horizon is flat.

You may be familiar with the concept that attitude determines altitude.

He could be in Alaska seeking work, or he could be in Arizona flying jumpers in Twin Otters, or in New Jersey or Florida flying banners, or in Civil Air Patrol claiming flight time and making contacts, or any number of other things. He isn't. It takes effort, and one must lift a finger to help one's self.

Then let him go get a job.

My qualifications are irrelevant. The thread is not about me (it wasn't, until you attempted to make it so). As you're invoked the matter, I lack none, nor am I seeking any. Neither do I have any shortage of employment, experience, qualification, flight time, certification, ratings, or prospects. Also irrelevant, except that I do know what the original poster requires, having been there myself.

With regard to you "calling me out," your effort is no more significant than a rodent passing gas beneath a log, and just shy of meriting effort to place you on an ignore list, so have at it. Perhaps rather than questioning the irrelevant in my experience, you might have words for the original poster? It is, after all, his thread.

I said nothing of my experience, nor did I make any such comparison, therefore you lie.

Loud? My post, which you have quoted and to which you refer, consisted of ten words which directed the original poster to gain experience and qualification. Again, your reading comprehension suffers. Have a leg, before you attempt to stand.

Debate? Hardly.

As for your interest, we shall see.

A lot of schools are paying for CMELS to get their CFI. Some even offer housing and moving assistance from what I hear.

Probably one of the best times to be low time. The CFI opens a lot of doors.

I tend to agree with Mr. Burke on his sentiment towards the OP. Low time, low quals is going to require some effort and forethought to work your way through the early stages of ones career. That said, asking strangers for complete guidance on what to do next isn't something I would recommend. As a low time pilot, you will undoubtedly need to put in the leg work and go the extra mile on your own to turn over rocks and find what's out there, because there are opportunities out there. Banner tow, CFI, survey, CFI, Jump pilot, CFI. Use the search function on this forum, google, dare I say...pick up the phone?!

Your options are limited but there are options. Attitude is altitude.
