I don't think there are any 737 rated pilots out there struggling to find work.

Your hundred hours doesn't mean much in terms of ability but it does mean that you can be taken on tomorrow, put through a week in the sim and a week of line training flights and be fully operational within a fortnight. Rather than the 2 months it takes to do the whole rating, sims and line training hours.

So what you need is to find 737 operators needing pilots in a hurry.

Several low cost operators of that type seem to be in urgent need of new pilots so as long as you are not some kind of muppet at interview you should be able to sleep easy when writing the cheques this year.

Just cross your fingers that something doesn't go bang with the industry in the meantime.

Good luck,
