Part 135 charter company, looking for Lear Jet co-pilot, and captain on
King Air. Good salary and benefits.
 
Thanks 350. I'll check into it.

Avbug: any chance of helping with fires this year, or do I need another 6,000 hours before I'm eligible?

BE 58: I left a message on Craig's voice mail a few days ago. It's my understanding that he wants guys that can fly the 60 AND the 35, with good PIC time and both types. Not me, unfortunately.

Earl: thanks for the support. I have several lines in the water now, and I'm getting set up (with CapnHuff's help) with PA Careerlink for some grant money to get the type rating. Upgrade at SimCOm is $8558, and the grant is $3500, so I'll have to make up the difference. Better than nothing, for sure.

B190: I talked to an associate of this guy yesterday, but I sent him an email and a resume to cover it anyway. Sounds like a good lead.

I'm very grateful to everyone who has offered info or encouragement. I intend to run down every lead where I am qualified.

Thanks!
 
Nope, you're eligible for a copilot slot at something like eight hundred hours. Just not competitive without several thousand, a mechanic certificate, fire experience, preferably some large airplane experience, an OAS card, your own tools, and about eight years of pounding the door to get a foot in.

The real question is would you want to do it? Like I said, how's your life insurance?

Try Dynamic...they were looking at a class in the near future.

Don't tie yourself to the Lear. Look at piston jobs, single jobs, anything you can find. I've seen people pass up perfectly good jobs because they felt that they had passed that point in their career, and it just doesn't work that way. Take whatever you can find. You never know what doors each opportunity to may open, and take it from someone who's been out of work more times than most folks have total jobs in their entire career...you're best off keeping flying, no matter what it is.
 
I found two heliports listed under "Reston, VA".

I don't see "dynamic aviation" listed for Dulles, which isn't far. Do you have any contact info?
 
My first search found:

ID City Name Remarks

5VA4 Herndon, VA, USA Reston Hospital Center Heliport Private
VA54 Reston, VA, USA Crippen's Heliport Private

A second search found more airports.

Do you have an identifier for the Dynamic location?
 
Just saw the edit with the link.

Thanks.



oops. The site must be down. I got the old "cannot find" page.
 
Does anyone have a working link for Dynamic Avaition in Virginia?

How about contact info?

Thanks.

I am sorry to hear that TB. I will keep you in my prayers. After all He is the provider of work. :D

Good luck my friend and keep your chin up.
 
Thanks.

I tried the "dynamic" link again, and the website came up. I'll give them a call, too.

My take on this is that something really great is about to happen. I'll tell you when it does.

Tomorrow, I begin the in-person process of getting some of my tax money back to help pay for my type rating.

Thanks, everyone.
 
That's one way to look at it. Things usually look darkest just before they go totally black.

I think this holds true unfortunately most of the time... wishful thinking is one thing but reality tends to differ... Oh well I guess it is better to "attempt" to be optimistic-

There's that moment just before impact, when the reality of the inevitable becomes brutally clear, and one accepts it. That clarity probably the single most peaceful bout with serenity one can have in any lifetime.

Except when eating a cake donut.

( ps> I will even break tradition and break down and get you a dozen of KK donuts to eat while you speak even though DD is better !!:D :D
 
No problem.

If there was ever a time for people to feel negatively about aviation, this is that time. There will be a reversal of this trend, it will simply take some time.

Avbug's comment about "Things usually look darkest just before they go totally black" reminds me of my last flight with my old company: returning to PA from Sarasota at night, and seeing the entire transition from a starry night sky, through dawn, and into morning for the landing.

No matter what, I'll be fine.

Try Custom Air Charter in PNE www.customaircharter.com - Marks office is in Warrington PA on route 611 down the road from NXX. If you've got time put on a suit and drive down and drop your res in person, it worked for me 5 years ago.

You also have Hortman Av in PNE. Don't know whats up there though. Also Chester County and Wings are good places to pound on doors. Don't forget ILG also.

When I was on the M&T Bank shuttle Prior Aviation KBUF were looking to hire a Lear SIC and Navajo pilots. I am not sure about present day since this has been some time now. Island Air was also always short on crews, they flew in and out of KBUF quite often and that was a crew base. Try Air Now as well, they are hiring according to their web page.> EMB-110 and the "C" fleet. Was pretty impressed with the operation they have in Burlington.

Also try Av Base at KCLE - They are pretty well respected in this neck of the woods and they operate a pretty nice fleet, they were also looking to hire First Officers for Citation II, Citation III, Gulfstream 200, Lear 31, Citation VII, and Citation V Ultra.- Good luck

Flight Options is also currently hiring ->Qualifications: Must meet ATP requirements and have passed the ATP written exam. Posses 1500 hours total time, 300 multi-engine and 100 hours multi-engine turbine. Relocation is not required. Corporate aircraft/part 135 experience desirable. Pilots currently on furlough must resign their seniority and any call back rights.

We have lost one pilot to them and probably going to loose another few. They tend to give preference to the guys who have been let go and are out of work. I would give Eric Gearhardt (sp?) a call and explain your situation.... You can also fill the application and submit a resume from the site.->

Wow guys! Keep this thread going. It's the best list of who's hiring now.

Charter outfits at VNY specifically state "come by with your resume." Same with the outfit in BUR. They hire even if their website says they are not. (Clay Lacy, Chrysler, and Raytheon)

www.skypatrol.com, pipeline patrol outfit in San Diego, is looking for pilots.

Fly SAFE!

350 mentioned Island Air in BUF, but I don't think you need to spend time researching them. They are either defunct or in the contraction mode. Didn't sound like a happy place anyway.
 
Point taken, my friend.

Only one of the places mentioned to me (in a PM) didn't answer the ringing fax number.

Any other referrals are welcomed!
 
This thread has been a great resource for me, and maybe many others, too.

If anyone else has leads for the Lear 35 or 55, or a lead where the operator is willing to provide transition training for a different airplane, please add it to this thread.

Thanks again to eveyone who has helped out on this. A flurry of faxes and emails has gone out, and I'm finishing my ATP written studies. In a few weeks, I hope to qualify for state money (read that: money I have previously paid in taxes) to help pay for a type at SimCom.

yes, but you fail to metion the all important "know someone" clause. the minimums mentioned are just to apply...dont even bother if ya dont have a solid contact on the inside ;)
 
Do all of you options guys agree that having an inside contact is essential to getting hired?
 
Being a realist I would say that with your experience there are 1000 people with the same experience for every resume that you send out. When I was doing all the hiring for a Lear operator I couldn't believe all the resumes that came in. I had no choice but to clean out the file every month. The ones that got my attention were to people that took the time to come in and establish a relationship with me. I know that is hard to do long distance, so the other alternative was via a friend. At the airline I am with now all, and I mean ALL, the hiring was done via "friend of a friend". I would say having someone on the inside is essential to you getting hired anywhere in this environment and with your experience. This is on the human level with God all things are possible as we have said and acknowledged before. Praying for ya.
