Seems to be the question of the decade so you'd think someone would have figured this out by now! How exactly can a guy get his foot into this darned industry??

I'm shy of 1500TT, 99% turbine from military. 850ish combat (which doesn't seem to mean a lick to hiring managers ). 550ish night/NVG. CFI, commercial instrument.

I have tried flight schools but I have no training experience and there seems to be about a million out of work CFI's. I have tried the gulf but can't get a serious look so far. Tour companies, ferry, ag, ENG, you name it.

I'm not trying to sound like I'm whining, I just really don't know how to make the transition from military to civil. None of my tactics seem to be working so I figured I'd better ask for some help from people who may have been in my shoes before!

What sort of job should I be looking for?
