IBC AIRWAYS.........Any word on these guys? Anyone here work for them. Any heads up would be good thanks.

Hi,

I'm looking for the north american / usa equivalents of www.aviationjobsearch.com , do you know which are the best? (googling didn't find anything comprehensive, the best i've found so far is climbto350.com though you have to pay to view )

Or given that most of the jobs on aviationjobsearch.com are from agencies is it just that there aren't many agency jobs in north america / usa?

Cheers,

MrSurrey

Do you want corporate jobs or airline jobs?

If the answer is airline jobs then all of the airlines can be found through their respective websites. U.S. airlines do not hire through agencies.

If the answer is corporate jobs then the best place would be www.propilotworld.com The job postings, networking, and advice from that site are second to none.

www.climbto350.com
this is the best and worth the $$.

Hi, any job websites dedicated to the Far east, Mid east, Pacific rim and India. Thanks

climbto350.com and avianation.com are by far the best two aviation job websites in america

The following is a quote from elsewhere on pprune.

"First officer salaries will range from £40,000 to £50,000, while captains can earn from £76,000 to £96,520."

The US Dollar is trading at roughly $2.00 to the British Pound. You do the math. That kind of starting money you won't find at ANY US Carrier.

Why would someone want to take a job at say a Skybus or similar LCC here in the states if they have the right to live and work in the EU?

Hello,
I'm a US/UK citizen currently working for a British airline. Does anyone know what the job market is like now or in the future for Hawaiian, Aloha, and/or Island Air?

Thanks.
Romankato

have you tried WASINC ???......they have some contract work with JALWAYS for 747....if that's your "cup of tea"........ good luck!
cheers

Both Hawaiian and Aloha prefer to hire pilots with strong ties to the islands. Both have been used as stepping stones in the past to larger, better paying positions elsewhere. The thought being that folks from the islands may stay a spell due to lifestyle/connections.

Thanks for the replies. I hadn't thought of also looking outside of scheduled airline jobs.

Do you know what kind of requirements that Hawaiian and Aloha might be looking for? The only info I've been able to find is on PPJN and that says both airlines still have pilots furloughed and their websites don't say they're recruiting.

I'd be looking to settle my family for good there so it wouldn't be a stepping stone. Since they both fly Boeings, I take it they would prefer same type experience over Airbus? I'd have to convert a JAR type rating to FAA anyways when changing jobs.

Have just recently come across this WASInc company that was mentioned.

Note the cost of living figures in this link http://www.wasinc.net/employment.aspx are complete fabrications. Utter BS.

If they are loose with the truth there, they are probably elsewhere.

Island Air just hired a class, and will probably interview for another class soon; 1000 hours total with 200 multi, FAA Commercial/Multi/Instrument with ATP written completed are the minimums. They have hired non-US citizens in the past, as well as Americans from the Mainland, so give them a shot. They are also the traditional feeder for Hawaiian and Aloha, who are NOT viewed here as "stepping stone" airlines in the slightest bit. Go for it!

That's great to hear that Island Air are recruiting again. Cheers for the encouraging news. I had heard rumours that things weren't going so well since Go/Mesa started with the fare competition.

:}Hay man
Punch up pilotpointer in your brouser, it has a long list of agencies.:)

not sure if its the right thread, but what about websites for jobs in europe. specifically corporate. anyone have any good ones?

Does anyone know what’s the name of PPRUNE’s equivalent forum in the United States? I believe it was set up by a pilot; who died in aircraft incident over a year ago or so. Thanks

No, it realy isn't. Flightinfo.com is fairly pathetic, and not what it once was. The site you're looking for was given by typhoonpilot, and it's Propilotworld.com.

There, you'll find many of the former flightinfo.com regulars, and a considerably better atmosphere.

Also has T & C's of airlines, interview question database etc.

Thanks Sika.

LACSA used to be a great place until it became part of the TACA GROUP and it went all down hill.

Things are quickly going downhill for any US hiring-even Fedex may stop until 2010, and according to a widebody guy I've known, they might need to consider furloughs-for the first time in its history, depending upon expedited early retirements etc. Hearing this was a shock.

About six (+) small airlines have shutdown in the last few weeks and others are laying pilots off by September, along with about 900 United pilots.
Even many CRJs are now considered more of a financial loss than ever before.
The nasty combination of fuel prices, the dollar exchange rates and the US housing mortgage disaster has created the "perfect storm", a true "Pandora's Box". The US government's two quasi-private mortgage institutions hold mortgages worth over one trillion dollars and might need congressional support/intervention. Check US news on this. But what is the actual value?

Anyway, good luck with your searches, here or elsewhere, and stay persistent.

Does any one know any US operators that would hire none US citizens? I am an Australian citizen but have FAA CPL/ME IR and ATP writtten.

Cheers!

Hola Scavalenger (and other friends with same type of question)

The issue is not the pilot certificates (FAA licences) that you have.
The issue is, to have the right to work in the USA.
Essentially, that is to be a USA citizen, or hold a permanent visa ("Green Card").
xxx
In a sense, I would say, it would be easier to find a job in the USA if you had USA citizenship (or a Green Card) with a foreign pilot licence, as it is relatively easy to qualify for the FAA certificates, if you hold ICAO qualifications. Or find a USA company operating N registered airplanes and based overseas. In that case, no problem, with just a FAA licence.
xxx
But why in hell would you want to work in USA...?
Low pay as newly hired F/O... generally no benefits...
The USA economy is in shambles, so, USA airlines are laying off pilots...
These pilots look now for the same jobs you would seek.
All pilots I know who are looking for employment... go overseas.
Europe, Middle East, Asia...
xxx
I left USA in DEC 1991, after my airline bankruptcy...
Never went back. No intentions to return there. Retiring in 3 months...
Flying was great in USA... until NOV 1973. Thereafter became a madhouse.
Call it airline bankruptcies, deregulation, merges, strikes...
Soon, Air China will operate the New York to Chicago shuttles...
And charge each passenger $5.oo for a bowl of rice and use of chopsticks.

Can anyone provide any insight on working and flying in Alaska?

Who are the better companies to work for and who should one avoid?
Any info. is aprreciated, thanks.

I too am looking for any type of information regarding flying for a company in Alaska. I'm having a difficult time finding anything.

Anyone know of company's that are hiring, where to go on the web to look for information.

Thanks,,,

Jon

Hey guys,

Right after 9/11, I had a hell of a time to find a place to work. I took my chance and went to Alaska. I found a job the very first day! The thing with Alaska is to go there and knock at the doors. They will never hire someone from the "lower 48" over the phone....

Keep in mind that it is a very challenging environment. If you are looking at flying the bush, some C-207 experience is not only preferred but also recommended.

6 years later, I am enjoying the expat lifestyle in the sand pit flying big shiny Airbuses.....show off...:}

JungleJett,

Where in Alaska did you fly? I gather that Anchorage or the bigger cities and tourist ares are better flying than the bush; am I correct?

Any information is appreciated, thanks.

As someone mentioned, coming up here and talking to people is your best bet. Realistically speaking it is not possible for everyone to do that. I came out here a year ago and among other folks talked to a small mom and pop outfit and got hired. Today is my one year anniversary and ironically is also the day my company decides how many will get furloughed and I could very well be one. No sweat I got some 737 experience flying RNP operations into JNU etc, ETOPS to Hawaii and flew with some class individuals. Improved my resume and should I get furloughed I will head overseas to check things out while I wait to get recalled or eat sand pie (like mud pie only dustier) for the rest of my career in the sandpit.

Soon after I arrived I was able to land a job as a mechanic to work on my days off. Just couldn't trust the airlines to settle down. I managed to keep my eyes open and found opportunities on adn.com (Alaska Daily News) frequently in the summer. In fact they are advertising some pilot positions right now (SEPT 30th , 2008) for the Air Guard.

Also check out craigslist.com (alaska) under jobs. Here are a couple that I found...
Sep 10 - part 135 pilot needed - (kodiak alaska) <<transportation

Aug 21 - pilot part-time for Cessna 185 - (Anchorage) <<transportation

The companies that I see around a lot are Pen Air, Era, Frontier Flying Service, Everts, Grant etc. Check out raa.org and call them.

Good Luck to you

Taquan Air in Ketchikan was recently advertising for pilots. They're asking two thousand total, five hundred floats, and five hundred Alaska.

You're picking the wrong time of year to go to work. A lot more opens up in the spring.

JBird, Flyintin said it all....it is also true that it is not exactly a good time of the year to start a job in Alaska. But you never know....
There are dozens of smaller companies all over the State where you can start and pile up some time and experience and then eventually if interested, move on to the big boys like Everts or Lynden or Southern Air.

Now I don't know much about Alaska, flying or otherwise, but I DO know a little bit about searching for employment ... ;)

Waiting until "things open up" means you'll be part of a large herd; showing up now may mean you'll stand out. If you can afford it, go now. The advice about showing up in person - rather than calling or emailing - is always a great idea. Now waiting until December to show up may NOT be a good idea - a lot of stuff shuts down for the winter, or so I'm told. Whatever ... good luck! Maybe when my daughter gets out of high school and moves out I'll see you up there. :ok:

You can get some good information on flying in Alaska here. (http://forums.propilotworld.com)

There are plenty of flying jobs in Alaska but in the winter time it is a little slow. Word to the wise after having allot of previous experience flying in Alaska is be careful.

Most companies are reluctant to hire anyone without Alaska Time but you should be able to find a job in Schedule 135 or 121 ops. it is different flying because you can launch normally with 500 and 2 miles or 1000 and 1 mile. Sure, get a special out of the zone with 1 mile clear of clouds.

You could try Cape Smythe or Bearing Air out of Nome and Kotzebue. Try frontier flying service out of Fairbanks flying Beech 1900, good operation and the flying is not too hard.

Pm me if you want more help.

Take care,

On Final

I note that 3 more 717's are arriving at Aloha. I already in service.

Are there any more planned?

Im an EASA licenced(UK CAA) engineer in the B2 category trying to find work in the USA where my EASA Licence would be an asset.
Can anyone help please?:ok:

Sorry..forgot to add I have an American passport...S.S. number etc.

Delta may be hiring...back in the late '70's, they put you in a rocking chair, and the interview went something like this.

YouTube - Monty Python - Job Interview (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmHX0qPQS0M&NR=1)

It depends on if you work for the passenger program or for the cargo operation. They both have ups and downs according to what you are looking for.

hello!!!
can anybody help with job prospects in the US?The focus is on Flight Dispatcher openings.Any help will be greatly apprciated.:)

Hi guys,

Just trying to get the feelers out there... Anybody know of any jobs going in Texas (Houston or Dallas area's)? Got CPL/IR with 650 hours total time but only 25 multi. What can someone with my experience expect to get flying wise besides instructing?

Hi,I have got an Indian CPL with king air c90a rating..since there is not much of any airline recruiting cpl holders as of now..would like to know if I could fly anywhere else..charter or something..at least to prevent my IR getting lapsed..

any info on jobs for king air c90a..http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/src:www.pprune.org/get/images/smilies/boohoo.gif

Might as well as here as well...

So what is the job market like for mechanics in the US at the moment? I am an Australian qualified AME (Airframe/Engines) considering my options at the moment.

Interested in FL (and immediate states if need be)

Are there any agencies/companies that deal specifically with foreign job hunters or am I better of waiting until I get there in March 2010 and canvassing in person?

Better to be here in person. You would need to check the A & P license conversion process if there is one.
There are always ads posted for mechanics.
Good luck.

Thanks :)

I have already been looking into the FAA A&P conversion, but looks like I might just head over there before March initially for a couple of weeks in Oct-Nov and I will just go and talk to a few of the training schools over there about enrolling for the course in March.

What I don't understand is some employers listing Associate Degrees and/or Bachelor's degree's as a 'must-have' for a mechanics position? :ooh: (this was for a rotary wing A&P job on UH1H's, something I have a few years experience with...)

A lot of places use a degree as a filter to cut down the number of candidates. You ought to see the discussion over here on some of the pilot boards about having a degree for a pilot job.

Hey guys just looking around to see if any one knows if any companies out there are hiring any drivers. I have 5,000hrs tt and currently flying the 737-800. Any info will be much appreciated. cheers:ok:

Hey guys,
I was wondering if there were any opportunities for a fresh CPL holder like me
Have a DGCA and FAA CPL - MEIR
253 total hours
32 ME hours

I would also appreciate any career advice.
Thanks

I would suspect that you have a lot more opportunity in India than here.. Many high time guys here are either desperate for work or flying for food... a typical ad for an experienced small turboprop pilot (That's a small turboprop not a small pilot) will result in 200 to 300 responses...
I find that if I apply for a position that I'm more than qualified for in EVERY respect it's unlikely that I'll even get a response, not even a "no thank you"...Fortunately I'm employed...
The streets of the US are not paved in gold... in fact Europe is a much better place to work if you get the permits... much better Ts & Cs... better quality of life.. decent vacation time etc, ( Unions here are a dirty word and people seem to enjoy getting shafted by their employers who laugh all the way to the bank ), but you'll need the JAA licence.

Hey, just hoping someone can give me some pointers

What's the opportunities over there like for someone like me
- US Citizen (by birth, living in Aus)
- CPL/MEIR (Australian)
- 1000total
- Float rating

Would be interested especially in float work, but I'm struggling to work out where to find out the latest info on the situation in the States.

Any advice appreciatied:ok:
