Caribbean jobs...How do you get em?

[skydork]

Just curious if anyone here has worked in the carribbean or know someone who did. Do they hire american pilots with low time? high time? Do you have to know someone or just have the sack to move down there and beat the bushes?

Can you tell its cold here?

cheers

JSOceanLord can't respond right now. He's busy in St. Thomas flying a 135 cargo charter on an old, clapped out Falcon 20 floatplane on a 91 certificate in hard IMC from the right seat with no Captain on board and an inop autopilot.

you can get gouge on the forum at; caribbeanalpa.com

i just read on there that there are 300 qualified guys in the caribbean looking for work.

best chance is to get on as an f/o at; tolair, vieques air link, or seaborne seaplanes

pprune.org has a caribbean section

it might be pprune.com, not org. (i've been drinking and doing cocaine and sniffing glue and.........)

Be careful what you wish for. I spent a year flying ATRs out of San Juan, and I can tell you the islands are not all that great. Most of them are third world countries, and cost of living is VERY high.
