I get this email:

A new opportunity, Falcon 50 Pilot/Mechanic , has been posted to PlaneJobs.com in your resume category.
You can't view the details of the position because you are not an active PlaneJobs.com Member.

Just think! for only $10 a month (or whatever) I can have access to to jobs!

On the other hand, I find this on AvCrew.com:
Seeking to hire a Falcon 50 Pilot/Mechanic to be based at Baltimore Washington International (BWI). Type rated pilots preferred, but not requirement based on experience. Will assume duties as Chief of Maintenance. Little hands on maintenance. Mostly managing records and scheduling. Fax resume to (301) 884-9620.

I'm about 99% sure this is the same job, and since it's been on AvCrew.com for several days, and since I just got the email from PlaneJobs.com this morning, I'm pretty sure they took the free listing, and are now trying to sell it to the naive.

I posted a job on AvCrew.com last summer, paying for it as the employer should, and got resumes from different pay sites. I demanded one site take down the ad. The next time I posted an ad I made it a blind box ad to avoid this.

What employers are so cheap they won't pay $20 to post an ad? I think at least some ads on pay sites must be exclusive, and not just taken from free sources.

Does anybody have a comprehensive listing of free pilot job sites?
