So basically I need to a) learn Portuguese, b) obtain a Brasilian work visa and c) convert my FAA licenses to the Brasilian equivalent.
Fairly straightforward. If not time consuming.
But the wife wants to move back to VCP, so might just have to bite the bullet...

The scary part is that he actually may have been with one of the Brazilian carriers for a long time and still not know the basics... Different flying down there to say the least.
I wouldn't do it as a career. But for someone that is young (no family) and needs to build time to get a better job in the US (when hiring starts again), it's not a bad deal. Especially living in Brazil as a pilot in your 20s/30s. Pilots apparently are put on a pedestal over there.
A friend of mine flew for LAB and went on to fly for United. He said he didn't have any problems getting hired at a US major. I guess it all depends on the timing.
I still want to fly for TAM!
:}
Go ahead, knock yourself out and have a good time.
I have a job, but if I didn't, I'd probably pass....now if I could get on with LAN, well that's a different story. I'd go to LAN in a second.
I guess everybody is different...LAN also involves living in Santiago Chile, a clean, safe and beautifull city....
how much do you think TAM is going to pay you??? I doubt they can afford to pay you 3500 a month.
Well if one it comes to that, I'll take a job with LAN, you go to TAM and everybody is happy
I fly for Netjets.......few years back I flew for an Asian carrier, there were lots of South Americans there, mainly Brazilians, Venezuelans, a few Colombians, and a couple from Mexico and Central America. I worked with guys from Viasa, Varig, TAM, Aires de Colombia, etc.........one guy from LAN, he said it was a first class airline, but pay was not good..............but no I've never worked for a South American carrier, going on info I heard from those guys...................what about you, who do you work for??? Did you really turn LAN down??
