Come to Florida. I'm sure that there is a Part 61/141 operation around that would hire you as a SE/CFI. Maybe you can get hired; get check out in a ME a/c; become MEI and then start building your ME time.

Lots of options down in the Sunshine State! :)

Good luck to you!

How many flight schools in Florida have MEI programs.. Meaning, if I come teach at them will they get me my MEI and be able to build time. I know usually there is competition for these slots and seniority usually wins out.. How long after working for a school will they help you get the MEI...

And I kind of want to leave the country. But if it's here in the U.S. I don't have any problem with that either. I am a CFI and CFII. But I am really looking for a gig That can get me some Multi Engine time. And a lot of it since I don't want to get my MEI. Does anybody Have any leads?

Hey man, Congrats! Maybe just a small step,but your heading in the right direction. Keep going!

This garbage about not being able to fill classes is absolute garbage. As long as I'm squeaky clean and an ATP and can't get interviews, you can't tell me there is a freaking shortage.

I think you may need to look in the mirror at the one my friend. The shortage at the regional level has occurred, and over the next 5-10 years will get interesting at the major level too. The major level will still be able to be somewhat selective , but we will see massive hiring numbers there again soon. But at the regionals, we need all the warm bodies we can get. No regional right now is where they want to be target wise.

Or...your "friends in high places" are greatly misinformed.

Is that common? I have twice that time with 900 tailwheel and would love to get to alaska. I know operators up there usually hire in the spring. Is that a better time to start looking?

I interviewed next to an ex ComAir guy yesterday for Air Wisconsin. I'm fairly certain he got the job.
