Firefighter aviation or crupdusting

[agus]

Hi everybody! I'm a spanish guy with experience in agricultural aviation and would like to know if you know any company that needs pilots. thanks.

Hola a todos, soy un chico de españa que ha volado con los airtractors, me gustaría viajar a sur america y probar suerte en la fumigación o en la aviación contra incendios. Si alguien pudiera darme una idea de como está el mercado laboral se lo agradecería.

un abrazo a todos

take care everybody!!

Why South America ??
Is it the only place that they do it???

1- Most of the pilots in the Contries that do it are locals, they are not used to expat hiring ..... ..... unless you have their nationality.
2- There is NO Aereal Fire fighting that I know in S.A.
3- The only one that I can think of is the Colombian Goverment, they have to spray half of the Country :}

Keep it Safe.

The Colombian government isn't doing the spraying.

Argentina has air tankers.

Possibly the banana growers, Dole, Fyfe in Honduras.
Colombian gov might not be directly doing the spraying but Colombiano's are doing most of the driving.

True joe ...
Is the Colombians that are doing the job, God help them ..
I just would hate a disgruntal farmer with a shutgun after my little C-Tractor loaded with fuel and chemicals ... not a prety picture ..:}

And the poor farmer, they fly with 4 chopper escorts loaded with big weapons.
