Furloughee Looking for Work

[U of I Tweak]

Yea I got let go today. what do you think of a HS 125 type, pro line 21 experience, lr-jet type, international experience. Living in south east pa. So much for that warm a fuzzy feeling of having a good job.

I'm there with you...was flying a Citation for a guy that was a private pilot himself. 2300 Total, the last year flying an Ultra out of Lake in the Hills, IL. So far I haven't had too much luck finding anything. The search continues.

Shrinky-dink Submissive Sally Slippers (aka - Crocs) are NOT manly pilot-type attire!

DO NOT wear them in the vicinity of corporate flight departments if you want a job there...

...unless you're inviewing with the G man. Then, wear Crocs, and bring fruity beer.

They're ganging up!

You guys just don't understand fashion!

Wearing the crocs to the office/meetings does get some looks....oh well...:laugh:

FWIW - I dont do the fruity beer, Im a PBR drinker.

Nothing but the best.

As others said....network as much as you can. 1800TT and 2 SIC airline jobs is NOT going to get you much attention these days...(just reality)

Look at an entry level job (SIC in a King Air for example) that has upgrade opportunity. On demand charter places are sometimes considered the lower end of "corporate" but are a great way to bang out some flying and grab a type rating or two.

Realistic mins for most OK corp jobs today are 4-5000TT, some PIC, a few type ratings, and a degree...bear in mind ref's also help a lot.

Boiler Up is right - this and the other corp boards are a fantastic way to network.

My department has hired people from contacts made on these boards. The $10 (or whatever) most of them charge is well worth the info you get, especially if new to the business.

Good Luck!

Just to clarify, On demand charter (Part 135 flying) and Corporate (Part 91 flying) are completely different. Particularly in the QOL side of things! But, 135 flying is an excellent way to gain experience, especially if you want to get a corporate job. You will make a lot of contacts, but beware the shady operators!!

We only dump on you cause we like you. (And you're not likely to go postal like some here... )

PBR? I thought I was slumming when I got that 30-pack of High Life Light. Thanks for validating my life. TC

High Life Light is good for special events (weddings, anniversarys, etc).....other than that 30packs PBR for $14 is the way to go.

Times are gettin tough my man!

Bigger is not always better. A lot of guys will gloat if they fly a large cabin aircraft, but if they're working with d-bags or spend 25 days a month on the road, what's to be uppity about?



Take care. TC

I currently fly a TBM850. Very small aircraft, but I get payed well and the QOL is great. I would love to fly a jet, but don't won't to be gone all the time and don't have the flight time for most jobs.

Good luck to all that have lost their job.
