Bertie, your post just reminded me of another, and very similar, good idea.
On holiday in UK from my foreign job, near the time to come back, I heard a rumour that a local police force was setting up an air support unit in the near future.
On Christmas Eve we happened to be driving past the police HQ, on the way to see my in-laws. My wife suggested I called in. I did, rang the bell! Ten minutes later I was having a cup of tea with the Unit Executive Officer to be. Three months later I was flying the police helicopter (when you weren't flying it, that is).

I traveled a very long way to Lao. Stopped by a helicopter company with resume in hand. No one in management was available and out of office for about a week. So I left a resume and was given a business card. Later I sent an e-mail and no response. I had an awesome trip and no regrets.
Not sure about the fixed wing side of things but I know at least in the helicopter industry that sitting on a computer sending resumes is the least effective way to get a job. There are a lot of qualified pilots out there, and the operators don't always choose the most qualified.
