Is any regional hiring now??
 
i just got 135mins recently and was wondering are any regionals hiring at all right now?

remember not to limit yourself on what APC has for companies as obviously they are some of the more well known carriers... What I have been doing is researching on airnav and asking around at each field what type of companies are based on the field. Yes, aviation jobs suck right now...there are opportunities out there though - I have found a couple right whenre I'm living. With 135 mins, that sets you up nicely so Good luck on your search!

Great Lakes is still hiring, I believe, as is GoJet (just say no...)

Even with 135 mins its going to to tough to even get a few nibbles. There are plenty of guys/gals on the street that far exceed 135 mins that would gladly take a job in freight or any other platform that may get them in the air again.
With that being said take whatever you can get. Van Wagner aerial advertising should be hiring soon based out of Florida. Look at pipeline patrol or even aerial mapping (Although I think they have already filled open spots for this season).
Good luck

Let me start out saying I do not work at Gojets so keep that out of any hate comments I get for this......

I think most of the Gojet haters are dumb. For most of us the plan is to start at the regional level build time and move on to bigger and better things. Why pass on a job building that time?.....Because years ago some scrubs crossed a line. Why does that make pilots who start work there now bad guys? It doesn't. I have a buddy there and wish him the best in his career. He was recently furloughed and they were hiring. Smart choice on his part I say. If you were actually affected by this alter ego being created raise your hand.....Probably 1 guy on here just raised his hand...:D. That guy deserves to hate them. The rest of us have no reason . Bring on that hate mail but thats just my humble opinion.

Crossed a line as in jumped ship to the alter ego. And I have no reason to hate them they don't affect my day to day at all.

Actually Every pilot and Flight Attendant at Trans States has been adversley(sp) affected. I will spare you the rehashing of all the other posts on this topic; however, Trans States Pilots and Flight Attendants are being furloughed, while GoJet is hiring(and even hiring Captains off the street-as CQFO's) think to your self why is every one else furloughing or reducing schedules and GoJet is hiring? well, they treat their employees so poorley that they don't need to furlough, they just QUIT! as for "the rest of us" having no reason to hate them, UAL is trying to pull a GoJet type alter ego using AerLingus as a backer!! where did they get the Idea? well, look no further than TSAH and GoJet. So the entire industry's pilot force should be outraged!
