Job anywhere!!

[ETOPS-787]

Dear aviator's:

I am B737 and Lear jet rated pilot. (unemployed..i know..i am in the club!!) but still looking for work.

I have sent a lot of resumes but not luck yet. If you can help and/or your company is hiring or need a pilot PLEASE drop me a line. I am available immediately and willing to relocate.

ATP, 5450 TT with over 3200 hours on Jets.

Thanks in advance, and happy holidays to all.
Mike

That's scary, 3200 hours on jets and you can't find a job? Is it really that bad?

 

[ETOPS-787]

Yes it is tough right now.

 

[Intruder One]

I would say try Jet Blue but your over qualified!

 

[Purple Haze]

mkmoz,
jetBlue is your best bet. If you already have an online profile at FedEx, keep updating -- and get some recommendations (they are no longer accepting new profiles).

Here's the part you don't want to hear: Until something "major" comes along, Comair will likely hire you -- if you interview with the right attitude. Sure the pay is ridiculous, but it is a flying job. This "downturn" is likely to last a few more years.

Another option worth looking into is the fractionals, like Net Jets. Check out the forums for Regionals and Fractionals. I was in your situation a little over a year ago, and I got very lucky.

Sending some luck your way...

Fellin your Pain

I know what its like, been searching for a job for nearly 3 months now. An AA buddy just got hooked up with a 135 Lear job in NY, and may possibly have a G-IV FO spot in LA, so there is hope for you. I've been seeing a number of lear jobs posted on planejobs.com but I'm not a member so I can't get the specifics about any particular position. Give some more details about location, what lear type, etc. and I'll pass on anything I find.

Keep the Faith,

Rice

Job

Thank you guys for your info. Speaking of jet blue, i don't have the 1000 hours on AC over 20k, and that is holding me back to join them. They called three times and told me can't hiring me cuz of that.

I have Lear jet type and lot of PIC on (20's,35A).

My profile with FEDEX is still good and up to date.

As of Comair, i have no problem flying for them. They are good company and would love to hear from them. I faxed my resume many times but still no word yet.

I check ALL pilot job website's twice a day and send more resumes...STILL NO PHONE CALLS!!!! may be because of the holiday's.

IF YOU CAN HELP PLEASE PLEASE DROP ME A LINE ANYTIME, AND THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

Comair Interview

One of the secrets to getting an interview with Comair is to give John V. Smith (Pilot Recruiter) a call. He is in Sanford FL and selects the people for interviews from all the resumes.
They receive hundreds of resumes a week so unless you talk to him it might take a while to get noticed in the big pile.
I don't have his direct # or extension but call 407-330-7020 and ask for him (leave a message, he is really busy nowadays but he is really good about returning messages)
Good luck

For the Lear...try HopAJet out of FLL. They also have Challengers. Their sister, Air Castle, out of Millville, NJ operates Challengers and Gulfstreams. Good luck.

 

[Midnight Mike]

Try Polar Air Cargo, they are conducting interviews for a 7th 744 in January/2003. Interviews dates that I know of are on
December 11,12,13,16,17 for a January class start date.

Alaska is hiring pilots for a January class as well, I think for the MD80.

MK77- my lawn needs to be mowed - if interested - please drop me a pm- are you typed on "lawnboy" equipment? - - Ah your a hoover driver - yeah you might be able to figure this one out - good luck- Max-

oH- YEAH- I FORGOT - YOU DON'T HAVE THE PIC TIME FOR MY LAWNBOY - IT'S BIGGER THAN 20,000 LBS - SORRY BOY

 

[LittleLearBoy]

MK77,

I hear they are short handed in the men's room for towel boys, that's if you just need the money.

If it's just a flying job your looking for, I think you have a better chance at beening a demo pilot in flying kits.

There are thousands in the same boat.

Have a Nice Day

 

[ETOPS-787]

Still looking

I am still here and still looking for work....checked all website and sent hundreds of resumes.... its just impossible to find work.

What is going on??? come on guys hook me up.

Thanks

 

[Andy]

We're all in the same boat.
Unfortunately, it'll probably get worse before it gets better.

 

[LittleLearBoy]

Hook You up!

MK777,

"Hook you up", you say. Let me ask you this, what makes you so special?

Two type rating? 'Nope!'
5500 total time? 'Nope',
Or wait I know, 3200 jet time.......................... Once again, Nope!

Go to the store and by the BIG box of tissues for your tears. As you can read everyday on this web page and others like it there are thousands of not only pilots, but people in general out of work.

The Reaper.

 

[ETOPS-787]

God bless you all

LittleLearBoy PLEASE DON'T TAKE IT PERSONALLY...if you can help anyone out there please please please do so. This thread is to help every pilot looking for work....not just me.

Also I'd like to thank everyone who replied to this thread.

Again, i know how many qualified pilots out there today without jobs, and i am in the same club.

We are going through a very tough time, and need to help each other... i have led several pilots to some job i don't qualify for, and am sure they would do the same for me.

God bless
