I have been a long time flight instructor and looking into moving on to something else, but really don't want to go to the airlines.

TT: 3300
ME: 500
Turbine: 9 (LR-45)
Bachelor's Degree

I would like to do freight, but there aren't very many options in this area. If anyone knows anything other than Martinaire or CASW, please let me know. AFAIK, there is no DFW hub for AMF, only a Pampas, TX route.

I would also like to do some corporate flying, but unfortunately, I don't have any types and very little experience. Worst of all, the only contacts I have in this area are flying things I wouldn't be able to get near, much less fly.

I would also be interest in a non-flying job in aviation, as long as the situation is right. I have applied to the FAA.

Any leads would be appreciated. Thanks.
 
AirNet, ameristar, and one other (cherry?) Freight company operate out of ADS. At airnet we only have one pilot there, but I was talking to a guy at ameristar who said they hire with 500 multi into the falcon 20 about every 6 months. Saw the ad not too long ago.

Cherry are probably hiring, don't know if I'd recommend it.

I heard GTA might be looking for the BE36, pay is on the low side and they have a bad reputation, but I survived 9 months with no real complaints.

7bar would probably hire with your times. I'd hate their schedule, but it probably isn't a bad job.

Executive Airshare would almost certainly hire with your experience level, but all slots are currently full. They'll be hiring soon, I'm sure.

No way I am going to work for GTA or Cherry. I have an app in with 7bar and Airshare, but haven't heard anything.

Thanks for the help guys. If nothing else pans out in the next month or so, I will apply to Eagle.

Out of interest, why no love for GTA or Cherry? Pretty entry level

Every single person that I know personally that has worked at one of those places specifically (I will let you decide which one) can't believe they are still alive.

As I said, I was at GTA for 9 months or so and it really wasn't that bad. A buddy just left Cherry, and while he is glad to be gone, I didn't get the impression he feared for his life.

So which one is it?

An assistant chief at AirShare posts on APC a bunch, goes by RI830, definitely send him a PM over there. Also, I know for a fact they appreciate FaceTime, so swing by FTW with a resume if you haven't already.
