How to maintain hours while job seeking?
Hello,
I just joined this forum tonight to seek some advice.
I'm a CFI rotorcraft pilot that started my own business, but it's just not coming around. Now I'm looking for another pilot job with around 500 hours total time. The problem I foresee happening is not finding a job for a few months, losing my flight currency, and just fall behind the competition since I can't afford paying for anymore flight time.
So, being new to the pilot employment scene, any advice to avoid this fate would be very appreciative. The business really put a hole in my pocket so money's tight, and after all the effort I put into flying I don't want to just give up. Please, any advice as to the best way to appeal to employers, keep up on flight hours and currency, or just places/reference to look at would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance.
