I got furloughed right after getting my ATP and first type rating. I've applied to over 100 jobs at this point, everything from single pilot 135 to pipeline patrol to right seat in a Pilatus to flight instruction. I have gotten a response from a handful of places, but nothing has panned out. it's definitely tough out there, and it's only going to get worse as there are more furloughs. starting to come to terms with the fact that I might not get a flying job for sometime
anyone have suggestions for what to do for the next 1-3 years? I'm at a complete loss and my only marketable skills are pushing buttons and flipping switches and warming the right seat of a 152

ISR jobs are going away too. The biggest player in the industry will be cutting many pilots at the end of the year, thus, those that are worried they are on the chopping block have already gotten employment elsewhere. The typical companies that ALWAYS have jobs postings, have not had one up for a while. Either way, same as everywhere, competition will be fierce. I'm afraid anyone without a current clearance and the ability to meet PIC requirements will not be in the running.

Lot of mil pilots who have gotten out over the past 3 years due to the hiring wave that are near the bottom of the seniority lists (therefore at furlough risk) who will get those ISR jobs over you. Most likely their security clearances are still good which is a big cost savings for the hiring company and means they can start much sooner.
