Job Market

About three years ago when I last was looking in the job market there were many more ads and openings being advertised. Now not only are there far fewer ads, but the ones that are out there tend to be quite a bit more specific. They ask for a pilot to be typed and current in the aircraft and also many ask for local candidates only. Not that three years ago they didn’t, it just seems to be the norm today. I know there are a lot of pilots out of work now days allowing employers to be more choosy. In my part of the country it makes it much more difficult and to be honest, quite frustrating. Many ads for the southern and western states, not so much in the midwest. Things do seem to be turning the corner though, I have been seeing a trickle of ads in my neck of the woods. Just have to keep a positive outlook and hope the flying picks up here.
