135 jobs aren't as plentiful as people seem to think. As nice as it would be to go fly 135, a lot of those jobs have been filled by guys who were put on the street by the airlines. I'm happy to have a job right now, but being a CFI these days is rough, because we simply can't compete with the amount of high time guys on the street.
Hell, I know of two 135 jobs I've lost to pilots with less time than me, simply because they had the 121 experience. Oh well, nothing I can do but keep instructing, looking for a job and hoping for the best.
As for the original thread, I'd say if the economy recovers as predicted, we might see recalls next spring and summer, and if we're lucky, hiring within 6-12mos after that.
