Mate there is a pilot shortage at the moment. All you have to do is send a CV to a few companies out that way and you will have to turn your phone off it will be ringing so much.
DO NOT drive out there. All the GA companies are so short of pilots they will pay for your airline ticket and relocation expenses. Expect a wage $60000 + with a company car and rent paid for as well for the inconvienience of living in a remote location (make sure your house is air conditioned though - they may try and shaft you with that).
Also I would be suprised if they make you fly singles. There is a huge demand for twin drivers so your boss will get you a Baron endorsement (or something similar) straight away.
Expect to be out there for no longer than 6 months. By that time if you have done you ATPL subjects the airlines will have tracked you down and you can work for the highest bidder. They will happily pay for all your training and give you the salary you deserve (because of the pilot shortage)
If you have any questions PM me - I used to work for a flying school
