Are you employable?

Has anyone suffered from this: flying 100 hours a month and looking for another job? After 6 months - find the job (type-rated - start ASAP) and then have to work 3 months notice. Net result - after 9 months at 100hrs a month new employer cannot use you for 3 months so job offer either never materialises or is withdrawn, or start date is delayed for a 3 month 'salary free' period.

Or am I cynical? Suppose your job disappears after 6 months? Redundancy not there as employer isn't either?

Should flying 70hrs a month be a maximum (Ok, one month you do more to help out) so that you are employable when you or they decide it is time to move on? Is an employer allowed to mess up your chances of another job like this?
