If you do that, you'll never get hired. Call them, persue them. Make it know you want to work there.

As far as Northern States hiring mid season, they will if they need a pilot. Those companies will sometimes hire a relief pilot mid season, or to replace a pilot that has quit. We often times had guys leaving mid season, especially when the regionals were hiring like they are now. |
Are you willing to get your CFII and relocate
There are a couple jobs on latest pilot jobs .com (why does this URL Come out in all asterixes? Are they banned from here?) I think the links change when they add new jobs, but a flight school in Korea is hiring, you will fly 40hrs per month minimum and be on salary. Currently on page 3 A flight school in Fiji is hiring if you have 200dual given but not sure if they accept FAA licence, they didn't make that clear. Currently on page 1 |
I'm a exC-5 examiner pilot and now a C-17 guy in the reserves. The benefits aren't the absolute best (whose are??), but the flying is the best...flying 300 foot low levels at three hundred knots+ one day, landing on 3500 feet the next, and aerial reveling 15 feet under a KC-10/KC-135 in addition to overseas flying with great people. I had 130 hours of SEL time...several thousand hours thanks to Uncle Sam. Best job in the world and I wouldn't trade it for any full time civ flying job. I'm 31 with a family....the grass is green....

Rhino,
What reserve unit are you with if you don't mind me asking? |
Without question.. go military.. I hear talk about all different angles.. You can't make the choice about being a military aviator until you've actually applied and have been accepted. Only a small portion of the applicants get a call. I'm retired after 20 years of the coolest flying you can imagine. The retirement is nice. It helps remove the stress of having to take a job you don't want. I'm taking time off right now because I wanted to sleep in for a bit.. doing a little flying overseas next month, then maybe flying for my buddy down in Belize this winter.. why.. because I can. I'd rather shove a pencil in my eye than fly the line for an airline day in an out. Knowing every frequency along your route and exactly when ATC is going to switch you will be all you have to look forward to in the airlines... Oooh yeah.. and the super hot 50 year old flight attendants.. (Flying overseas in Asia or Middle East if you're single would be good though)..
Go military.. |

I'm highly considering getting the CFII, yet money is tight. Does anyone know of any company (whether it is banner towing, mapping, or even flight instructing) that would be willing to hire someone with my experience. I am willing to take anything to build my hours. Seems like most places want 1000 hrs TT and pt. 61 schools want someone with 1000 hrs of dual given for instruction. Any help or clues would be greatly appreciated.

If you're under age 37, ever consider a career flying for the FBI or Customs? They pay well and the benefits are good. Only prob? Flying for the FBI will keep you in the little planes all your life, but at least you'll get a fat pension.

I would fly little planes and let everyone else fly those glamorous regional gigs. Send me the link if someone has it.

Little planes are dangerous, noisy and go to small towns with few services. They do not have Lav's or flight attendants to bring you coffee and lunch.
