This is a rapidly changing market. A fixed list of who was employing last week is about as useful as second-hand toilet paper! The only way to keep up to date with employment opportunities is to keep your ear to the ground. Pprune is very helpful, as most potential oppotunities do get a mention here, but many, many opportunities will be for just one or two pilots, and are gone before you'll ever hear about it.

That is why you have to try and develop contacts in the part of the industry where you want to work. If easyJet or Ryanair (or any other major) are your targets, fine, you don't have to develop contacts - they're recruiting all, or most of, the time. If Trumpton Air Services, flying Sheds out of Trumpton Municipal is your dream job, go and talk to them. Don't wait for BALPA, Pprune or anyone else to tell you that they hired two pilots last week!

That said, BALPA is a very useful source of jobs information. I've seen stuff turn up there that was never mentioned here on Pprune. I believe the IPA have a similar facility.
