Thought I would start a thread on how many pilots presently are out there and looking for work, regardless of how many hours?
What are you doing in the meantime?
Cheers

Im looking, still deciding what to do, have 1200TT, but quite happy at the moment in a nice paying job (outside aviation of course)

I've given up and am going to go to Europe. Hopefully I will be able to return one day to a realistic environment. To much back scratching and arse tapping here.

Over two thousand hours approx 800 piston multi. I am with a good operator right now and I have informed them that while I am looking for greener pastures I will not be making a sideways step to another piston charter mob.
My point is that I am paid well for what I do, (relatively speaking) and accordingly I can afford my employer the loyalty that good pay and conditions command, albeit not forever.
I am hopefull that the industry will, to some extent, turnaround shortly. Just remember that when the chief pilot retires at QF another 206 charter job turns up somewhere.
good call willie.
im also looking, i could get work of course but ive had enough of the desert.
though i have never heard of anyong not making it that didnt really want it!:ok:

Well, the short answer is no, but that's largely due to ineligibilty experience wise...unless you can tell me otherwise...in which case the answer may be different.

Laid off in Europe, 6000h TT, 5600h Jet, 2000h Command 737 EFIS - would love to do a little Southern Hemisphere work, but finding contracts a little thin on the ground at present !
Good luck all.
