Flight Instruct

With your time it looks like flight instructing would be your best option. I just saw an add for American Winds Aviation in sunny Akron, Ohio looking for fulltime cfi/cfii/mei.

As mentioned, call around to flight schools and try to get a CFI gig. If you don't have your CFI certificate, the jobs are going to be very limited, if non-existent.

Good Luck

Good Luck!

Four years ago, I was in your shoes. low time, no multi, no CFI etc etc. I tried getting a job trying to put the cart before the horse and all I had was frustration. I flew skydivers for a while and then did some ME deliveries, but nothing could build the flight time that I got instructing.

The key to getting employed is as follows.

Flight instruct, get your CFII as soon as you can and start teaching instrument students. Build up the skills.

at about 900 to 1000 hours get your MEI and do your best to build the multi time. The more the better. Any flying on the side you can do, the better.

You want to try to fly about 100 hours a month.

When you start getting close to 135 IFR mins, 1200tt etc, start sending resumes out to all the cargo guys, Airnet, Amflight, MAC, Empire are a few of the good ones. As you continue to instruct, continue to update resumes and follow up with a phone call every so often.

If you are not a dork, or a jerk, you will get a job.

Fly cargo for a couple years, get your TT and ME time up and try to get upgraded to a turbine as fast as you can bid into one. This is the best and most fun flying you will ever do, cherish it, take advantage of it, because it only gets more boring from here on out.

At about 3000tt and 1500me you are going to be competitive for most of the fractionals, and depending on what cargo company MAYBE swa, notice the size of the maybe. Of course, who knows.. You may like it at the cargo companies and decide to stay, it's been known to happen.

If you try to circumvent the process, your skills will suffer. Don't jump on the regional bandwagon, build the skills and experience. It's tough and right now it looks like it sucks.

Aviation is about the journey and IF you are lucky and save your cash and plan for furloughs, and retirement it can be about the destination.

Good luck.

King Airlines in Henderson is looking for pilots.

I'm currently instructing with 800 total and a little less than 100 multi. I really do not want to work for the regionals. My goal is to make to NetJets. At my current employer my contract is almost up (about two months). Any suggestions? I've heard that flying cargo is a great experience builder. What kind of times do I need to get on with a cargo outfit?

 

[RichardRambone]

135 mins (1200) if u wanna fly single pilot. I too have no interest in the regionals and my next step is either cargo or maybe even charter. Anything to up my multi times and then move on to turboprops/jets.

 

[SBD]

1200 huh? Are there any other outfits that are not single pilot that one could get on to. While I'm still relatively inexperienced, I don't believe that I am going to get any more out of teaching kids how to do steep turns and power on stalls. I understand that this is a passage (CFI), but what to do after a gain another 200 hours or so?

P.S. I actually enjoy teaching people to fly.
