G'day all,
Now this is not another question about getting full time flying work in the States - I have read the posts on that. My wife is considering an exchange to Maryland University (if that is what it is called??) for 6 months next year. Of course, I'd love to go with her, but being a temporary thing, I am not after a Green Card or such like. I read a J-1 Temporary Visa is the way to go, but I don't think I'd even convert to a Commercial Licence to fly. Wondering about the availability of ground work around airports or smaller charter companies - baggage handling or office work - if anyone knows of companies I can contact to start getting more information, or if business is small in Maryland or hiring is slow in today's climate. Basically, I am prepared to do no flying bar some dual fancies, but can't survive not being around AVGAS or AVTUR.
Appreciate any help - email if necessary.
Thanks
RS
