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.
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
has anyone here used a social network to find job opportunities. i've been playing with a site called Konnects.com for a while. I noticed their site offers alot of features, I'm a member of the aviation community that they have and people message me all the time about job openings.
NTSB and FAA in Washington, DC has job vacancies in aviation safety. Not flying but for thoise with previous flying experience. www.ntsb.gov job opportunities.
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.
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.
