Best place to look for work for a pilot with A&P?

[AKcharger]

Thanks for looking at my post (it's my 1st day!)

I have 1500 TT, 103 hrs ME and 25 years experience as an A&P and mx manager (ex AF maintainer F-15,16, 22, C-17, C-130) Since I've been overseas most of my career, I haven't been able to do much networking and I'm absolutely overwhelmed with countless pilot job sites on the web. Seems like (for a reasonablefee) they have jobs for either 737 Captians or F/Os at Mesaba or Delta Connection . My flying experience is OK, but I think my combination of flying/mx/management and international experience makes me valuable to some niche ...but where to look?


I'm thinking corporate is my best bet as F/O, A&P and acft/fleet/facility manager. Any suggestions as to the best site or organization to help? Expos or career fairs to recommend?

Thanks in advance!

P.S. Yes, career options for me are plentiful, but I want to try and fly first...while at the same time not be treated like dirt

Might try looking at Dynamic Aviation if you havn't already. Google search will find alot of forum info on them and their website is nice to look through to see everything they do. Alot of overseas king air contracts, be a good way to build some flying experience in the right seat. Let me know what you find, I'll be looking for the same deal here before too long, only 5 yrs a&p and 500 hours.

Hey! someone replied! Thanks!

I submitted an application to Dynamic earier this month, didn't hear anything back. I also tried "Avenge" (ISR contracts) and Evergreen (They fly Sherpas in Afganistan)...same reponse, nothing but cricket sounds. Only saw one pilot maint manager job and nothing. I really would have thought pilot/A&P would have been in demand...where's the pilot shortage I've been hearing about since 1995???

I think Guardian Flight is looking for mechanics there in Anchorage.
