private operators

I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.

Im on the hunt for my next job. At the moment im driving pa31s, and Ive got about 1000hrs(400 in the pa31) in my log book. but im not quite ready to pass over the the dark side yet, and sit in the right hand seat of an airline(assuming they'de let me!).

what I want to do is perhaps fly for a private owner or business. Something like a tbm700, a meridian or a pc12.

Would anyone know where to find this sort of information out?

Or would anyone know someone who is on the look out?

Its funny you talk about PA31s..I just got a neg answer from a PA31 operator saying with my turboprop time I was overqualified and wouldnt stay long enough,use them as stopgap...
If you leave your job,beware 100s of guys will be there after it with much more experience than you..

Good luck in your job search

Homer,

Difficult, the most important thing to do is persuade them you intend to stay with them. Biggest cost to small operators is the training of staff and high turnover rates.

Good luck
