Pilot Shortage

you will never see a pilot shortage in the US at the major level.....regionals yes

we will see a major hiring boom and a redefinition of competitive mins at every level. The regionals and on-demand operators will go to the fogged mirror interview process. If you breathing, you have the job. How do you think Cliff got hired at JUS, only kidding, only kidding, I loved working with Cliff.

I did not, but this particular gig has been non type rated for a while now and the point I wanted to make is that there are more now.

do you commute from seattle still

do you commute from seattle still

Nope, Minnie

 

[Adios]

Dumb pilot is so right, I am here in China flying a mid-size corporate jet making $$$$$ and getting ready to get typed in a LARGE corporate due to the shortage of foreign pilots. All I can say, if you want to see the World and have a great life style with a lot of time off, then maybe you should consider Asia or another foreign gig.

Cheers

Non type rated at Fly Dubai

Fly Dubai is taking non type rated and there is another rumor floating around (I know there have been many times that this rumor has surfaced, but it seems to be gathering steam) that EK will take DEC's again soon, Interesting times on the international arena.

I am starting to get pretty curious about some of these foreign outfits. I know about Emirates, FlyDubai, and Cathay. Do you guys know of any other carriers that would be worth looking into? Is there a website or anything out there that would be a good resource for finding out about other carriers? I have a family and I am mostly interested in jobs like Emirates that allow you to live abroad with your family.

airlinepilotcentral.com has info, and professionalpilotworld.com has job openings and info.

The best foreign website is pprune.org: Warning-there are LOTS of whiners on pprune, way more than on the us websites, but less fighting.

China has TONS of jobs where you can live there. Qatar, based in Doha, is very similar to Emirates, but not as good. There are contract jobs in Africa where you can live there, also. India and Vietnam, as well as other SE Asian contracts you can also move to.

KAL and Japan contracts are mostly commuting, I believe.

Sri Lankan Airlines is now hiring-it seemed like a nice place to live, and a number of expat pilots.
