PA-44typed, where are you located at? Your best bet would probably to find a flight school nearby and start instructing to build time. Try to build as much total time as you can and then start looking for other opportunities. In the industry today its hard to say what jobs are going to open up for low time people. I have a friend in Daytona Beach that told me that instructors with less than 300 hours dual given are not getting hired because of the overflow of instructors. Get out there and network and see what you come up with. Good luck.

Re: USA Jet
This is what I know about them, although "Pilotyip" is probably the guy you would want to speak with to get the real scoop.
Pay: $43 per hour, with a 65 hour per month guarantee. $1.58 Per Diem I think. As far as minimum times to apply I'm not too sure what they are. I spoke with their recruiter a couple months back and he said to give them a call when I have around 1000 multi, so I'd guess to be competitive you'd need around 3000TT with 1500 multi or so.
Anyway keep trying, put your Instructor certificate to use and make every flight you take a quality learning experience. Times are tough now as you know so be patient and it'll come around eventually. Good luck!

Uh What?
To those who gave answers to what I asked for, thanks for your help. To those who told me to take a number, are you just venting because you can't find work either? I HAVE exhausted every route to build time and was just requesting information. I AM a CFI and HAVE gone to every flight school within 2 hours of my home. I am not naive. I know my flight time is low. I simply wanted info. I have friends who were wondering as well. Maybe you should calm down before you post next time!!
BTW, what's up with everyone being so pissy when someone asks for information? These are tough times for the aviation industry but come on!

As a former Willow Run alum myself I can tell you that I have nothing but respect for the Jet Usa guys. They're a top notch freight dog outfit and even though I didn't work there the guys I do know that worked there had nothing but good things to say about it.
I don't want to beat a dead horse but unfortunately, and I know you're sick of hearing this, your times are a little low. But three of my friends just got class dates at Skywest and they only had flight instructor time. Of course they did have 1500+ and over 100 to 150 multi. And even though the market is flooded, there are still jobs out there. So keep plugging and it'll come your way. Hate to make a rah rah speech at you but just take the words of a once great band G'N'R. "Just a little patience...yeahhhhhhhhh. Good luck friend.

USA Jet is a good place to WORK... I was there a couple years and had a good time. They're a really good bunch of pilots. Well qualified and hard working. Looking back they provided me alot of experience and still paid a wage that was fair. Pay was above the standard commuter wage. You will hear groans and moans from folks, as anywhere. If you work with 'them' it can be a great experience. I dont like the contract thing, but you have to be there a couple of years to get your time anyway. I would say sign it and forget it..
Sometimes it is tough sitting around waiting to fly. It can be very frustrating to be called out at midnight and flying all over the country with long duty periods. All in all, a very safe place to work and a good bunch of folks. Dont apply thinking its a 'cushy' job. Its work, but a good environment to learn and grow.
