Need some advice
I have been a pilot for 15 years, Have a BE-1900 and SF-340 Type rating.
I have 11,000 hours tt PIC turbine 8000 hr range. Any ideas where to apply for a job? Had an interview with Comair however they turned me down. Leaving next week for Schneider National ,Freightliner Driver. I miss the freindly skys but Not LGA delays. Any sugesstions would be appreciated.

I'd look at FEDEX/UPS if you have a sponsor, NetJets, Citationshares, or better yet Cathay, Emirates, Etihad, Gulf Air. You might also try the crew leasing companies.
You got turned down because you have way, way way too much flight time for Comair and the like.

Employers are leery of high time pilots. It suggests that there might be something wrong with you since you haven't moved on by now or that your high time makes you untrainable. Customise your resume for each form of employment hoped for. I would consider listing 6000 hours total and perhaps 4000 PIC for the majors and much less for a regional airline.
A few years ago I considered going back to part 135 flying in Alaska. The first few companies I sent my resume to never responded. Then I left my airline experience off of my resume and sent my newly adjusted resume out and the phone rang off the hook. We all are defiantly proud of each hour on our resumes however too much experience or that of the wrong type can be a huge turn off to employers.

You might consider reducing the amount of flight time listed on your resume.

I wouldn't suggest lying on your resume. You might get an interview, but you'll get fired from your job when they find out.
