Yep, applied for some jobs in the GOM and Vegas (jobs that were online for months at that point with Bristow & PHI, Maverick, Papillon), not even a response. 3000 hours, FAA CPL IR, CFI & CFII, 1200 Turbine in 350s, 500, 407, 206. Was even willing to sign a bonding agreement for cost of immigration lawyer etc. Nothing, nada. The shortage can't be that bad in my opinion....
