Any low time people finding work?

Post by jp7500 »

Just wondering if there are people out there that have a positive story to tell about either landing a first job or having a call for an interview etc. Hoping to hear something positive for myself and others to read.

I've had 2 interviews for 6 resumes sent out this season. 1100hrs mostly single engine. Presently employeed, but it is time to move on even in this insecure economy.

Thanks. There is work out there. I was hired because of experience I had doing something other than flying which got me this flying gig. I've never got a job in aviation based on my aviation qualifications but because of something I did in the past outside of aviation. Weird. Anyways, best of luck to everyone.

I assume you took the twin PIC job? Or was there a big financial difference to make the 182 competitive?

My boss is great, treats me well, pays me more than those major 704 ops. Makes me feel important and I have a very good feeling about this gig.

If you are willing to go overseas to Indonesia and make very little money, I have it under good authority that they are still hiring FO's.
