06butters Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 Any creative suggestions for jobs for commercial pilots with low flight hours besides CFI, especially in the Montana area? I'll be going to flight school for MT national guard this fall and am trying to figure out how best to leverage the commercial license I'll get into a civilian job after training. From the flight schools and FBOs I've talked to, heli CFIs and commercial pilots aren't particularly in demand in the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRJ Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 I recommend getting all the Guard time you can. If they ask, volunteer. Look for ADSW opportunities that can help you build hours (like fire fighting). You should be able to build time quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After flight school you might be qualified to sit in the right seat and hold the PIC's coffee, but they might at least pay you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
