You can always pound the pavement, but I don't know of anyone that "for sure" is looking. I was looking at McDonald's earlier today....totally srs, too.

What kind of job are you looking for?

Time2Fli · October 20th, 2009, 23:55

Ideally a flying/pilot job but I would consider just about anything.
I have experience in management, finance, sales, flight instructing and probably a couple things that don’t come to mind right away..

In all seriousness to make some cash till you find a flying job try and get a job working as a waiter at a higher class resturant. Something like a red lobster or similiar. My buddy works at red lobster here in ohio and he makes on average 300-400 in tips just work 20 hours a week. If your a people person that is the way to go.

Where in the area are you moving to? The Tri-State is pretty nice, but there are obviously places to avoid. I recently saw some corporate place was hiring pilots, but I forget where or who. Sorry, I know that doesn't help much.

Also, Air Tran, last I knew, was recruiting ramp/customer service agents at PIT.

Try Corporate Air (PIT and AGC). Also, there are a couple flight schools in the area.

If all else fails, Pittsburgh has a bunch of companies in the business of finance.

I just don't consider it a "job" when you are forced to sign a new contract every 6 months when you go to sim training (that they have to pay for as part of the cost of doing business). Maybe an initial contract to make sure you won't bail after getting you current for $15k, but not every 6 months. That's not a job...that's slavery.

Agreed - that's pretty lame.
