Would you go to Brazil for a flying job?

The biggest problem IMO is you might not be able to again additional SA though the radio. They are giving instructions to the other guys in the other language, you might not be able to tell that they are giving the other game the same alititide as you along the same route, while in english you would notice that descripency, also you know where to look out for the traffic too.

Well its the good old see and aviod because you can never trust the radio anyways.

Hi, humpalot...Brazil's awesome, lived there 10 years.
Where are you gonna be based? Maybe I can give you some pointers...

Brazil girls are fine....but watch out for crime! Mostly in Rio.
And your dollar is worth 3.5 of the local currency now, so a beer will go for about .25 You can eat like a king on a Mcdonald's budget!!!!

go for it.

I am in the process of getting my brasilian license to go fly in Brasil. I am currently flying in Hawaii as a flight instructor and I have friends working for all the major airlines there and they all recomend moving there for a heavy job. From what I have noticed, US is the only country that requires all of this flight time just to fly a twin or a turboprop. I have lots of foreign friends that are 25 years old with over 1000 hours of jet time. That won´t happen in US. I say if you have the opportunity go for it. It will be good life experience.

Good luck with your decision

It would depend on the cargo.

I dream of flying Jets out of GIG (Rio) My first trip there changed my entire perspective on life. The peoples passion for life is intoxicating. And the women!! In Brazil there are more women then men and Brazilian men are often abusive. An American man who is a pilot would be treated like a god (at least a demi-god.) Once you meet Brazilian women you probably won't want to put up with American women. Take a look. www.brazilgirls.com
