Mexican Airlines' Pilots

And how does one apply to these places? Seems like a broken link on Aero Mexico's website.

Their english is better than my spanish

Years ago did a night trip into Guadalajara and the controller spoke perfect Engish. It was late enough that while he had cleared us to the gate I picked up the mike and complimented him on his English. His reply; Hey no problem, since I was a gas meter reader in Los Angeles for the last twenty-five years!

It would be my guess that it would be quite difficult to get a work visa for Mexico. Its a one way street for jobs and immigration. Northbound only.

I chatted with an AeroCalifornia (are they even still in business?) DC9 FO about 5 years ago on the ramp in Guadalajara. He was asking how to apply at CAL becuase he was making $16/hr in his 3rd year. Obviously not the same status as Mexicana or AeroMexico but even if they make double or triple that's still no bueno.

You're a funny guy, but I'd bet you've never flown into Guadalajara, Monterey, Chihuaha or hand-flown the Mateo5 arrival Rnwy5R into Mexico city because if you had, you wouldn't make fun of those Mexican pilots or their accents. The controllers down there won't spoon-feed you on to final, and the further south you go the worse it gets. Try it sometime, but make sure you know how to shoot a DME-ARC approach before you go. Also pay attention to the MSA, cause ya ain't in Kansas anymore.

I for one, can say that I have done all that.....basically Mexican ATC sucks and the controllers in sub-Sahara Africa can be better tha Mexico

How many foreign languages do you speak?

Two, how many do you speak? And what relevance does it have?

Mexico has modern ATC. You don't know what bad ATC is.

Three, and your asking that question proves you are indeed an idiot.

In order to get a Commercial Mexican License or ATP, you have to be a Mexican citizen BY BIRTH. This is by mexican law and it's written on their SCT Regulations (Sector Communicacciones y Transportes) the equivalent of our DOT.

Bottom line, us gringos cannot be employed by a mexican airline.

Aeromexico F.O. B737 or MD-80 = about avrg. 90 bucks an hour
Something like 5 to 6500 USD a month depending on the month with average 85 hours flown. ( these are take home figures)
Aeromexico 757/767/777 F.O. a little more depending on the amount of trips to Europe or Japan a month, and these figures do not include per diem, compensations, bonuses etc.

Aeromexico CAP. = double these figures.

How I know this, have an old buddy from High School that works there and absolutely no way I can work there as a gringo.

Uhmmm, maybe I can marry Margarita.
