jobs for low time pilot

[antigravity]

Guys please help young pilots like me to get a job with low hours, so that we build up time and earn at the same time. I have FAA CPL IR/MEL 270 hrs in hand.
Can anyone guide me where to get a job and start flying?
Many thanks to you all.

okay...

get in your car...bring a stack of resumes and TP....drive to northern canadian regions...knock on the doors of charter companies that DON'T exist in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto etc...say hello, introduce yourself, have a look around...give said resumes to chief pilots...and continue this until you find something...

again...go north....

His first step should probably be to convert his FAA license. (i don't know about FAA to TC but if you are going from a TC license to an FAA license you need to submit your documents a minimum of 90 days prior to picking up your new license)

Forget the big cities. There are low time jobs there but unless you know the right people your chances of getting it are very low. And even then you wont be paid enough to survive. If you want to stay in the big city then instruct. IF you want to fly turbines, then work the ramp. If you just want to fly, head north and look for C206 or PA31 jobs. Good luck! I know now is not the best time to get hired but convert your licence. Ive been told some companies will be hiring in February.

Thanks for the advice. I would definitely convert the license and go north. I am not a citizen of Canada nor I have a degree certificate. Is there any problem of me being able to work legally in Canada.
Thanks again,

[LegoMan]

Yes in that case you cant work in Canada unless you have the legal right to work in Canada. Same goes for Canadians wishing to work in the U.S.

Visit a dropzone in your area which operates a piston Cessna... they'll usually hire low time pilots, sometimes with much less than the 350 or 500 hour standards you see north of the border here. Same basics apply as stated above... you won't find that first job sitting on the couch, or in front of a flat-screen. If you're looking for bush flying, you don't necessarily need to convert to a Canadian license, rather you'll just need to burn a little more gas to get north of British Columbia.

The Yukon?

You must be a pilot, pleased to meet ya

[alti2d]

So if you are not able to work in Canada, are you able to in the US? If not there, where are you able to work? Once that is figured out, then I'm sure people will be able to direct you towards some potential opportuities... All the same, good luck. That first job is a difficult one to find

Why do want to work up here, Their are 100s more companies that operate airplanes down there. Your not trying hard enff or your to picky. Go to a DZ next season and you will be flying, and if you do your homework you will be in a turbine before the winter. You also have year round in the south........ If you cant find a way to swap lifes let me know I will go fly in the USA and you can go freeze up north.

[antigravity]

Thanks a lot people for the reply.
I am just a new born in this field with just a cpl in hand and I swear its really hard to find a job with my low hours.
I am an international student here in US on non work permit visa and reaching out other neighboring countries, keeping my options wide. I will be very thankful if anyone could suggest me where to start flying.
Sincerely,

[C-GGGQ]

you have to find somewhere that you have a right to work (you have Citizenship or landed immigrant status)

What is a DZ???

[C-GGGQ]

Drop Zone (parachuting)

[machuu99]

Sorry... Thank you!

[INTERESTING]

If you would be willing to pay for a Checkout or PPC are there any jobs available?

Don't feed the troll...

Arctic Sunwest looking for ramp guys... on PCC... at 16 bucks an hour you'll make good cash cause you'll work 7 days a week/12 hours a day... maybe more. Supposed to be pretty shitty place to work the ramp, but if you can make it through, they got some niiiccce machines.

[South Of 60]

Man i wish they paid us $16 per/hr when I worked there!

[Just another canuck]

Yeah I knew a couple guys that ramped there... said their salaries equated to about 2 bucks an hour, so you can imagine how much they worked. Well, you'd obviously know if you worked there... anyway, at 16 bucks an hour with the OT involved, you would do well I would say.
