Any of you know of any good aerospace employment links besides Airportjobsonline.com. I went to grad school for aerospace management and can not seem to find any lucrative prospects. I was trying to get into airport management or manufacturing but have been unsuccessful to date. I even have every airport's employment section that is a class c or larger bookmarked in my favorites list. Any ideas or suggestions. By the way, I currently live in central Texas.

DFW is your best bet. Lockheed is here, along with American and Southwest. Dallas Airmotive is pretty big. If you're looking for a manufacturer, Turbomeca, American Eurocopter, Bell, GE, and Pratt & Whitney are here.
In San Antonio, Pratt & Whitney does a lot of work (military).
Also try DFW airport.

There are a lot of aerospace manufacturing companies in the DFW area, BAE Systems, Gulfstream, General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin to name a few, and many many repair stations like Dallas Airmotive, Jet Aviation, Aviall, etc. There are lots of jobs in aviation/aerospace but their pocketbooks are getting tighter so don't wait to try and find something especially lucrative, that will come when you show the company what you can do for them.

There are many options: look into FBO's like Duncan Aviation, Elliot, or garrett. Duncan Aviation has been voted as one of the top 100 places to work for a few years. Go to DuncanAviation.com for more information. Realize there are many different avenues to take... but first get your foot in the door and then move within.

Look here.

International Association of Airport Executives.
OR

American Association of Airport Executives.
And their Career Center: http://www.aaae.org/products/400_Career_Center/
If you're looking for work in airport management, the AAAE should be your first stop. I'd highly recommend membership.
