Make your own pilot job. Use your commercial pilot’s license to allow you to fly banners. Pick a low-fuel-burn aircraft, possibly even a hot air balloon or two man blimp...aircraft are selling and renting at low rates at this point in the economy.

Offer to take local radio reporters up in the air for traffic surveys and ad promotions, too.

Make your own job...cause there really isn’t any hiring going on.

I'm acutely aware of the lack of hiring. The offering of rides to others presupposes that I have an airplane to provide those rides in. This industry is very much one in which, "It's not what you know, it's who you know".

Thanks for the tips though! I'm with you in spirit.
