Hey all,

I'm at 1160 TT with over 700 ME, just shy of Part 135 mins, anyone know of flying jobs in the area or anyone need a pilot? I have canvassed the area with my resume at the local airports (FCM, STP) but still hoping to get picked up. I have all my CFI's with over 800 dual given.

Thanks in advance!

 

The only active flight school is Thunderbird Aviation. They frequently advertise on 350 for instructors. Did you try applying at their facility in Anoka? Otherwise try Mesaba/PCL or Skywest for that MSP base. (Maybe Compass will change their mins and you could apply there too.) Good Luck.

 

Thanks gearcrankr, I have applied there, we'll see what happens!

InFlight Pilot training at FCM is pretty active as well. They are pretty good people...I would recommend giving them a shout.

 

Did you apply over at Mesaba?

 

Its a shot in the dark, but you could try talking to someone at Signature STP. There are a couple freight/check companies that fuel there. Good Luck!!

 

Stay far far away from Thunderbird.. Horrible Mx & worse management.

 

Tbird wasn't bad when I was there (01-06). Management did suck though and the pay wasn't great. Try executive at FCM, they turn over pilots pretty fast. I know the former CP from over there.

 

Just FYI, I had someone ask around at executive for me and was told their insurance minimums are something like 500 multi
