    Good luck in your search! Always worth a check to see if Boeing has anything going on at the 737 plant in Renton, WA. Not too bad as far a cost of living goes for western Washington either.

    yeah man it sounds like you would be a great fit at Boeing. I just got moved from Everett to Renton, there are more job openings than people think. Just go online to Boeing Careers and apply for as many jobs as you can. You'll probably get an interview.

    Check the job postings for Boeing (as mentioned above) and Lockheed. They have positions all over the place.

    Consider a different field? The trucking industry is in desperate need. Look into LTL company like XPO Logistics Freight, Saia, YRC, UPS Freight, Fedex Freight & Holland, many others.

    With several of the companies above, you're home every day, night or weekend. Some you'll be out as long as you want. Or run city stuff paid hourly and work 10hrs and home. $50k a year starting out. Most start around $20. Top out around $25 - 28 after a few years.

I said no, there are not any long term jobs for me. According to my lack of aviation experience. All i want is a long term job.... Im turning 40 in december...

    Well, if you're interested in New England, Wiggins Airways in Manchester, NH is hiring with varied levels if experience. Just a thought
