Just doing that got me several call back and 4 interview offers in the 3-4 months after last years event (I turned them all down since I had subsequently accepted a job).

Safety Standdown: Aviation Safety Seminars and Online Resources | Safety Standdown

Register soon and commit to the event. Spots fill up QUICKLY.

Thanks Flyer Josh, that's a new angle for me to attack!

Out of curiousity, where in the US are you located and are you willing to move?

I am located near Tampa, Florida and I am flying the 76 out of Miami, so I spend most of my time there. I am ready to move, actually looking forward to it. If you have anymore ideas, please run them by me as I've run out.

Thanks again to all who replied for the suggestions!

You aren't related to "Keith Stone" are you

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

Serious note, another resource are aircraft management companies/individuals. I ran into a guy several years ago out of the Milwaulkee area that was managing 6 different companies aircraft, and he had a handful of pilots that worked for him. Sorry I can't remember the name, been awhile.

Honestly, I think these guys are hit and miss as anything else out there, but it could just be your shot getting back in.

The NBAA is in Vegas this year. That would be a great place to rustle up some contacts and get your name out there. Good Luck

That's ok, I when I joined Airline Pilot Central I had just started flying the 727... and after flying Collins Proline 21 avionics, well, that's all I could come up with. Uh, Oh now I've done it

... Be very careful what you wish for, about 4 years ago we started to demo super midsize aircraft for our then thriving flight department. I mentioned to one of the sales guys that its too bad that I never had the chance (past tense) to work in a 727. Well, I really hope my next statment had something to do with winning the lottery.

I have talked with several aircraft management companies, and like the rest of the small jet operators their business is down as well.

Keep the Ideas comming, it's almost like therapy!

Keep an eye on CAE/ Simuflite. They occasionally post for a Hawker instructor. Actually have an opening for an "On call" one in Morristown, NJ now.
You can hope for a full time, then transition to Gulfstream, or Falcon, or Cessna.
Also, they don't mind if you fly on the side. (Make good contacts while instructing) Pay is good too.

So yes, I have and will still consider overseas. My only problem is I'm more than 12 months current on the Hawker. I really need to find a path to the Gulfstream or Global because as previously stated, those aircraft have not experienced the down turn like the little airplanes. I was hopeful that the 72 and 76 time would help, but so far no luck.
Any ideas galaxy flyer.

I wonder if Walmart still needs a greeter?

Have you tried to get your resume to Google? They operate a 757 and a 767 just north of SJC on Moffett field. The 57 came from the place I used to work and the pilots "did not" go with it. The other 757 was just purchased by Donald Trump and is having the interior re-ragged in LA. I believe there are 2 professional sports teams that have 57s as well.
