Regionals in the North East

[spitfire fan]

Hi
I am going to get my commercial next year and hopefully after beinga CFI for a while get a job in the North East. I live in the Philadelphia area, and my wife and I don't really want to move to the midwest or something like that if that's my only aviation job opportunity. Basically I am just wondering what sort of jobs are out there, what airlines exist in this area? Thanks
p.s yes, I understand that aviation is a tough career path, so please none of these "aviation sucks, be a plumber things ", thanks

Check them out. Good Luck!

I've heard nothing but good things about working for Cape Air (9K) - they are based in HYA (Hyannis, MA).

Commutair (Champlain Enterprises) is based in PLB (Platsburgh, NY) and flys BE1's (and soon Q200's) for CO.

Colgan Air is based in Mannasis (sp.) VA

If they ever get off the the ground CQ Air (www.cqair.com) will be based in MDT (harrisburg, PA).

I'm sure someone on this board can give the info for Pidemont as well.

Oh yeah, Wiggins Aviation (FEDEX feeder) is based in NE too...

Good luck!
