Any suggestions for an FAA ATP?

I'm looking for some flying.Anybody out there know of any N-Reg operations I can fly for?

If you have a US commercial pilots liscense and the appropriate entry requirements for the US (whatever they may be) are at hand. I would seriously consider Bering Air in Nome Alaska, Cape Smythe Air in Barrow Alaska, Penn Air in Anchorage Alaska. The first two hire relatively low time pilots for C-206 duty with upgrade to multi-engine equipment. The last does the same only the entry aircraft is a Cherokee Six. Another consideration would be Wings Alaska or Skagway Airlines in Juneau. I don't have any web adresses but the area code for all of Alaska is 907. Hope this helps. But before you go be prepared to fly in very harsh conditions and to work very hard.

Also Bering Air fellows I met when I was in Nome for a little visit in my cute little airplane told me that their salaries where up to par with bigger companies in the lower 48.

Alaska provides an excellent opportunity to build up time during the summer with various tour operators as well as with the scheduled pt135 operators.
A good stepping stone and gives plenty of experience.

Check Penair too.

Thanks guys,
Obviously didn't explain myself very well.Was kind of hoping to find some N-reggers here in UK. I already have the FAA ATP and have already done my time "Freight Dogging" it for 135 outfits.

I'm a bit cheesed off that I'm unable to use my licence and experience here in the UK.

Somebody is making me jump through hoops to get the magical JAA thingy.

Surely there must be someone out there who can use me?

JJFlyer,
What kind of cute airplane were you flying?

[JJflyer]

A cute little B727 from Moscow to Yakutsk and then to Nome. Did check Anadyr as well

Yes, now I remember seeing one parked over on the Berring Air ramp. Nobody at Alaska Airlines ops. seem to know who's it was though. Any hints?

Yip.

Belongs to the the big prince from Persia...

Nah just kidding owned by Saudis. Flies as usual, members of the ruling family, their friends, associates, business partners or who ever the boss wanted to give his airplane to ( Including the girl met in the bar the night before ).
Guess they have run into some financial difficulties since all of the crew was released about 2 months ago... HAHAHAH I am not surprised though.
