To be totally honest with ya, flight instructing....maybe even traffic watch. But your best bet, flight instruct.

Times are tough.....

Sweet pic of the PC12. How did you get your PC12 gig? I should pass 1000 hrs this week, possibly 135 mins in two/three months...

RKpilot just curious where are you flying around in a PC-12 with your times (as it says in your position)? Are you in the Boston area, if so why do you want to leave? I only ask because I'm looking into a PC-12 gig in the area and curious if it has anything to do with what you're flying, and if it is then why you'd want to leave. If that makes any sense...

As others have said the best place in boston for a 600 hour pilot is right where you are in a PC12 and king air. Your ONLY other options are to be a CFI at executive flyers in KBED (if they will hire you, they are fairly strict) or east coast aero club at KBED or I think there may be a flight school at KBVY as well. In todays market unless the job you have is against all your morals and values you need to keep your butt planted firmly in that turbine equipment. I live where you live and I cant buy a job in this market (no im not insinuating that I tried to buy a job.)

RK, stay right where you are! I'll be honest, there's a TON of guys who WANT to be in your spot! Especially those that are currently furloughed from the airlines. You're getting turbine time and working your tail off in very GOOD equipment. If you leave and go instruct somewhere, you'll be regretting it because you'll be back to flying 172s or worn down planes. If I may ask, why do you want to leave anyway?

This was a post but look at the one below it, it's formatted better.

Yeah it made sense, it took a couple read throughs to figure out but I got it. Reason I want to leave is I'm flying like 3 times a month if it's busy so my main income is supplied by a line job at KTOL (Toledo, OH.) That combined with ahem shall we say personal interests in Boston, makes other things look better.

P.S. Could the admin's delete my previous post, I figured out how to quote properly this time.

Personal interests haha nice. Good luck with the search, it's tough for a lot of people right now, especially in this region, but if you have a CFI that would probably be your best bet for now.

I dont know if Daniel Webster is hiring instructors, but that could be a possibility as well for some quality time in the logbook.
