Hmmm, thats unfortunate. I was hoping to get up there for a year or two. I will be applying anyway. Hopefully my other non-aviation experience will help give me an edge over other low time pilots. I have several years working in extreme climates. Alaska, Siberia etc.

I'd go for your CFI or go aerial surveying. IMO surveying sucks less. Pump your numbers to 500-1000TT and hop on with a 135.

Currently working on the CFI. Should have it done soon, but would much rather have a survey job.

You might be a little late applying for the survey jobs. They tend to hire early October but it seems that the applications start going earlier and earlier every year.

It wouldn't hurt to send in an app anyway- they will definitely lose people throughout the year.
