Who the heck is hiring????

[Lear70]

World is hiring both F/O's and CA's.
Atlas/Polar is hiring 747 F/O's.
Gemini is hiring F/O's.

Those are the only 121 gigs I know of who are looking for people, and there's a ton of Maxjet/EOS/ATA/Aloha pilots who are 737/757/DC-10/MD11 current applying as well, so it's a crap shoot.

There's quite a few charter and corporate gigs still hiring, but they don't like airline people as a general rule.

Kunpeng (used to be a joint venture with Mesa) is looking for CRJ CA's but, if you have a family, the time away sucks - they'd have to move in order to keep ANY kind of family life.

There's quite a few China/Japan/India 737/RJ jobs available. Check out the advertisers at the top of this board (WASINC, PARC, IAC, etc).

Good luck,,,

Thanks again. i just dropped some change and signed up with air inc. Geeze, I hoped i'd never have to do that again. Two chpt 11BK's, an 89 day strike, numerous pay cuts and now a possible furlough and likely chpt 7. I guess i have my big boy pants on now. I'm a real airline pilot... ah, to live the dream.

UPS should be hiring soon. $118,647.00 a year min. guarantee for second year F/O.

will you guys stop with the higher power crap. it dosn't do anything as far as the decision board is concerned.

No, but it sure gets you the INTERVIEW!

If you want to fall back on that CRJ type there's several international opportunities paying around $10k/mo.

Start with www.avianco.com and www.wasinc.net

It's likely a step back but a pay increase. Best of luck to you in your endeavors.

I'm way out of the loop. is higher power a type rating provider? How are they tied in with sw? speaking of which, SW pilots, when do you anticipate having a denver base?

Colonel Savage:

I know alot of pilots that went to Higher Power for their 737 type ratings. They 3 were current PIC on jets, 2 Check Airmens. Did not get them a job. One person I know was called by SWA a year after they interviewed and asked if they were going to reapply. Their answer was NO. When asked why, they said they were in process of moving to Memphis. (Now this person was happy they were turned down.)

I'm saying (once again) it helped them get the INTERVIEW, not the job.

Are you denying they have the Saturday afternoon Ice Cream Parties at the Higher Power campus with members of the SWA training department in attendance?

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

None of the CRJ jobs in China are paying $10k a month.

They pay $8k a month and have paid housing and per diem that they account for another $2k of "compensation".

Living in China isn't worth $8k a month to me with no set days off in a row to return to the U.S.

Most of the decent jobs are paying $10k BASE salary PLUS housing PLUS per diem PLUS commuting with 12+ days off every month, sometimes 15 in a row after 45 days on...

Do your homework before you sign on with WASINC or others...

i have 4500 pic in a crj...two years now been an fo in the a320. I'm thinking the 737 type might not be the best move at the moment....but who know?

I had no idea that you have 2 yrs of 320 time. My buddy with 2300 tt rj and 800 pic just got hired with qatar as 330 fo making 10000$ a month tax free with ton of benefits that you won't be able to match, he also says with 320 type and time they're hiring capt's for 320 (13000 a month tax free). Emirates also hiring and have explosive expansions. Hope you find something soon but the two i mentioned above are diffenetly worth of looking in to.
