I will write another detailed post on options for "low time" pilots like yourself shortly. Checkout climbto350.com and such sites. You will see that there is a lot of demand for FAA CFIs in the middle-east, China and South-East Asia. Don't forget that one of the reasons why we chose to be pilots is the love for traveling the world. Look beyond the comforts of your home (country) and you will find what you've been looking for. And because there are very few who actually do this, this is why there are a few who succeed.. ... even in hard times. I will forward your comment to the pilot friend who works for Club One (privacy) and let him decide whether he wants to connect publicly or not. But one thing is for sure, even he looked beyond his comfortable home country to land himself the job. Keep up the good work on your blog....and build connections.

In less than a month, one dealer called him and asked him if he could ferry a brand new SR-20 from California to India!! As he had never flown an SR-20 before, they even paid for his checkout/TAA training, and he flew their Cirrus to India! And now he turns down some business as he doesn't have enough time. He ended up working as a chief pilot for the new owner that he was ferrying for. :-) A friend (and former student) of mine, he put the word out to some bigger aircraft dealers that he is available to ferry airplanes for new owners.
