You might be able to try something out at St Charles Flying Service. I think your best bet out there would be flight instruction until you got 135 mins and then they have 310's and 210's that they do some stuff with.

I stopped by there a couple months ago to check out renting the 310, and they seemed to be a pretty cool operation

Other than that.. several airports around that have flight instruction, if you are short on 135 time, that would be your best bet.

good luck..

I guess you have to build your hours like eveyone else. Flight Instruct!

There are reasons for 135 minimums.

Try Skyline Aviation at KSUS, I think they will bring you in as long as you round up your own students.

Yeah I checked them out but they did not have any openings at the moment. I left a resume though. I heard from a few other guys that St Charles looses a lot of business because the runway is in such poor shape.

Yeah I tried Skyline as well. They had enough instructors for the time being. Thanks for the info guys.

I would try Parks College of Saint Louis University. They are located at Downtown Parks Airport and they do a lot of multi engine training. They have Tampicos for the private, but after that students do most of their instrument and commerical in the new Seminoles. This might be a quick way to build multi time. Also they offer some benefits and I am sure they are already starting to look for instructors for the fall semester.

my suggestion to you is dont unpack your bags and get the Heck outta this awful city.... j/k its not that bad, a lot of pilots though. i work at parks, we wont be hiring for a while from what i see. i think people are telling their kids not to go to school to be a pilot b/c they see how the industry is. really though, try to go to chicago or something and do some instructing

Don't know what part of town you live in, but try the Festus airport (I-55 south of South County about 25 miles). I did almost 700 hours of instructing there (but then it was back in '98 ). It's changed ownership since I was there, so I can't tell you exactly who to talk to. But if this gets you a job, I'll be expecting you to return the favor. I've been trying to get back home to STL for the past 3 years.

Go to 3sq. Good people and QOL. Best place to build time in STL.

I will try that one tomorrow perhaps. If you have 135 mins, there are a few jobs available. THere is a cargo outfit at CPS that is looking for pilots. Unfortunately for me, all they do is single pilot stuff. Air Net, also at CPS is a possibility for you too
