Quick reminder: summer/fall isn’t only the hiring season for aerial survey.
All the pipeline patrol operators are going to need pilots.
Yes, building relationships prior to applying will always yield better results.
But if there’s ever a time to just blast emails everywhere, it’s now.
And it worked for me during the winter/spring, that’s why I’ll never agree with the people who claim applying online just NEVER works.
Sometimes it does, if you know what you’re doing.
Some people claim this looks like a scam.
I know for a fact EVERY year this post comes up. Same address email, same job description. I’ve also seen it posted on facebook before.
I think it’s legit, but if you’re really worried about your information being stolen, you can always omit your phone number until someone replies to your initial email (how are they going to call you though if they wish to?)
Again, I frankly don’t think it’s that deep.
Best of luck!
