Just a couple of things i noticed from both sides of the situation (jobseeker/employer)

1st: Post/Fax/Email operators (in that order of preference) your brief (youd be surprised how long some ones are that people send) resume with a covering letter. Avoid generic letters (like ones with To Whom It May Concern) and make sure its written to the right person!

eg: once saw a letter (arrived at alligator, knx) addressed to Broome Air Services, with the objective to "gain employment with Broome Aviation"

2nd: Call up each operator after they should have received your correspondences, make sure theyve received it and explain your intentions

3rd: Go see them when you're in town

Just observations from seeing basically what goes on, I'm far from someone who makes decisions on hiring pilots, so perhaps someone in such a position can correct/confirm my inferences.

Edit:

P.S before 1st step, research company and find out name of C/P
