750 TT then what

Keep trying but dont expect to hear anything. That way if you do hear something great, and if you dont you can continue with your life without worrying and agonizing each week as to why you havent heard anything yet. Your best bet is to trying CFIing..these traffic watch jobs are few and far between and there are hundreds of pilots trying to use this avenue to bypass the CFI route. Bobbysamd gave some great advice and if i were you thats the road I would take. You arent to far from being hireable in the 135 and 121 so meet some folks and get some multi. Meeting good folks can be worth more than 3000hours+ !

Flechas, I am leaving that job because I am getting married, and it would be difficult for my wife to come and live there. On the other hand, my boss was way more difficult than I thought, and too abusive for me. Things went very wrong when my engine quit on me on a landing and instead of working it out and finding the failure, I was again shouted at. Told him to go get another driver. I have found a good small job at the moment to keep flying until I am back in the US.
I would tell you to try that job, but he is a very difficult man, and will ask you to convert all your FAA licences first into Tanzania licenses before he gives u the job. This would cost you about $600, plus the $2000 plane ticket, then a bit to live for a while, and not even the guarantee to get the job with an approx. $1200/month to begin with. I think it is too demanding and not worth it. Although if you have the patience to do it, and a bit of cash, then why not try it, there are jobs all the times in those places, it is a question of being there at the right time, at the right place. Like for everything anyway.
Tell me if you really want to try this way, I'd give you more advices and ideas by email.

Keep pluggin away at the flying time. Also, don't let the remark about "750/hrs being nothing". It really isn't, but my point is that you can get a decent job with those hours if you knock on the right door.

I got my job flying a Twin Commander when I had less time than you have! Also, I know a fellow that got a job flying right seat in a Citation - all because he knocked on a door and the owner liked him. This fellow only had 350 hours!

Drive on. Keep knocking on doors and networking. Good luck.

Like it was said traffic watch and jobs like that are hard to find now. But my buddie just got hired on Long Island flying jump planes and he only has 300 hrs. He walked in and asked if they were hiring. They were like well our jump pilot just quit today so if you can fly tomorrow you are hired. Since he didnt have any kind of job at all he told them he could fly tomorrow so they hired him on the spot. He was pretty lucky, but you never know it could happen to you too. Getting a CFI job would be easier maybe, but if you dont have your CFI then its costly. Also just heard someone I know went from North Carolina to Pittsbrugh stopping at all the airports along they way and could not find one single CFI job. Anyways just go knock on doors who knows what will happen.
