    Thunderstorms, anyone fly thru them?

    I have flown through them twice because the idiot seating in the left didn't know how to use the weather radar. Once in it, what did he do?? Started turning right away. I didn't know if I punched him or took control of the plane. Lots of ice, severe turbulence etc. Not a pretty picture.

    TAM and Gol (Brazil)

    I checked with some people who seem to know the regs really good and they said you have to be a citizen, either born or naturalized, to be able to fly in Brazil. Since this is Brazil, I guess if you know the right people, you could probably pay your way around the red tape but if you follow the...

    TAM and Gol (Brazil)

    I think you would be able to but I'll check on that. We have a few Mercosul guys working for us and one of them I am sure is not a Brazilian citizen. Alot of people have been asking me this question so I'll check the regs and I'll get back to you guys.

    TAM and Gol (Brazil)

    Yes I would say so. Not too long ago people were getting hired with less than 500 hours. Once the hiring starts again you shouldn't have a problem provided all of the paper work is in order.

    TAM and Gol (Brazil)

    Total of 3. Supposedly going away when the 777s arrive but who knows.

    AMT is right on with his info. Hiring should start next year again but for right now no movement going on.

    CRM question - Captain/FO

    You guys should come and teach CRM in my company. Unfortunately I can count in one hand the good captains I have flown with the past 3 years. Most have no CRM or knowledge to be in the left seat and yet they treat us like $hit It goes with the culture of the country also. This is my first flying...

    Another question(s) on Emirates.

    I wish it was like that everywhere. At my company it is a gear up and shut up policy and no CRM at all. Safety goes way down but I guess they don't care. I wonder why we are averaging one major accident per year....

    Preparing for your CX interview book

    There is a pilot shop at Boeing Field that carries "Handling the Big Jets" and they ship it too but I forgot the name of the pilot shop.

    Brazil Visa's

    You can get it in one of the Brazilian Consulates in the US. If you don't live near one, you can mail your stuff to the nearest one. It takes a few days and they might even rush it if you show them you're a pilot. I think the fee is a little over 100 USD.

    Ok, thanks for clarifying that up.

    Emirates and Logbooks

    Ok so just to clarify, a letter from the company or chief pilot stating your hours is good enough?

    TAM Brazil

    I read it in a local newspaper and they were talking about Sao Paulo, not the whole country so take it for what it´s worth but if you stop and look around, it´s pretty convincing..........

    TAM Brazil

    Brazil has a woman to man ratio of 16 to 1. In aviation we have FAs 19 years old and up, most being in their early 20s. Women of all shapes, sizes, color etc. You can take your pick. Most are very good looking. Hiring foreigners would change the way people think here. My airlines is more like a...

    Best commuting contracts?

    Thanks for the replies say again over. They are good and right to the point.
  21. Varig

    TAM Brazil

    Both. TAM is the first and last company I will fly for in Brazil. I am sure the others are the same. VARIG used to be different but still a long way from being a serious flag carrier. They are all a flight school, get your time and move on. It's funny you mentioned the radar. People here don't...

    Best commuting contracts?

    For those of you "commuting" back to the States, how much is the average airfare for a round trip ticket? I know it depends on your destination but I just want some numbers to have an idea. Thanks in advance

    TAM Brazil

    Besides the hot flight attendants, I don't see why people would want to work here. It's just not a good place to work. I wish we would hire foreigners, it would make the place alot better.
