Seasonal summer jobs
Hi,
I was wondering if I can get some insight into companies offering seasonal employment as CFI's, towing banners, aerial tours, Alaska, etc? |
Hi,
A lot of jobs I've been looking at are requiring 500TT now. But if you find anything lower, let me know cause I'm job searching at the moment |
I am approaching the 500hr mark and was also looking for something seasonal for the summer. My current CFI gig is super slow, less than 30 hrs/mo. Any suggestions? I'm willing to go just about anywhere.

If you are in the San Diego area try Air Ads Inc. Banner towing operation with a great guy that runs it. Year round flying and who wouldnt want to fly a super cub?! Mx is spot on and boss is super flexoble with scheduling.

I second this. Have my MEI,CFII and unfortunately I'm old, so I need to get these hours. I know everyone does! But at only 500something hours, can't seem to find anything but my CFI gig at a snails pace.
Did you apply to the typical operators? Air Choice One, Mokulele Airlines, Boutique Air, Southern Airways Express, Ameriflight, Planesense, Grand Canyon Airlines.....they all will hire you with +500h. It's not a piece of cake, but if you apply and update your application, you may get the call eventually |

Once you get the email you're good to go, as long as you're patient.
Good luck and keep applying non stop. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk |
Maybe try San Juan Airlines up in Bellingham, WA. I believe they require 135 VFR mins, and I've heard it's great time building.

Crop Surveys are the best summer only job you can ask for. Planesense and the other 135/91K gigs are likely not going to hire a summer only FO. I did surveys for 3 years during college, built maybe 150-200 hours a summer at relatively high pay.
