How To Land A Flying Job?

How to build hours without cost:


PSSSST: WANNA BUY A PILOT?

Finding a good pilot is always one of the more formidable
challenges aircraft operators have. Of course, the converse is
true: Finding a decent piloting job at a trustworthy company can
be harder than the flight training necessary to do the flying. One
enterprising Norwegian pilot is trying to use the popular Internet
auction site eBay to widen his job search

(http://cgi.ebay.com/One-1-Pilot-Male...QqcmdZViewItem)
and, hopefully, snag a flying job. The pilot, with the eBay ID of
"jonas_tind," is auctioning "unlimited use of a male pilot (27)
for one year." According to the auction, he so far has earned his
FAA commercial pilot certificate and an instrument rating and has
logged 350 hours total time. He's also type-rated in the
Beech/Raytheon 1900 B/C/D.

With his auction's $1.00 starting price, it's easy to see that he'll
be performing his piloting and "other things" for the price of a
(one-way?) airline ticket, 50 hours flight time per month, and room
and board:
