Iraq possibilities?

[chillbill]

Hi guys,

Like possibly many Im banging my head against the wall trying to find work in the UK and recently was asked if I had considered Iraq. I'd never thought about it before so just wanted to see if there are any possibilities there.

I have all that JAR fATPL nonsense and about 900 hours of african bush flying under my belt if that helps. All on single engine magical flying machines. I've heard that there are companies there that will rate and pay you well although I have no proof of this or idea who they are - just the usual pilot hearsay that we all know (and love?). Cest vrai?

Any info/tips/advice would be greatly appreciated. Anything considered!

Cheers,

CB

If it is RAK Airways, then based in UAE, go for it....

They all seem to be imports here flying for Iraqi air. Guess there can be worst places.....pretty rugged here and not a lot to do in your down time. It's all about the money....

When I was still in the UK, we trained some DA42 pilots for a UK company operating in the ME that flew in/over Iraq. DO Systems (http://www.dosystems.com/)
