The Caribbean and Latin AmericaAviation has been around South America and the Caribbean since the early days. A forum for aviators from that part of the world.
Is there a specific place where I can find the profile of the airline, (LAN CH, AR, PE, EC, CO) with information on, schedules, pay, upgrade, vacation, benefits, qualifications, key people and any other pertinent information ?
I recently got an email from LAN asking to send them my papers (license medical) as well as a certificate from the CAA confirming my flight hours.I have a JAA license and the CAA here in Europe does not issue such a certificate.in fact that responsibility (that my flights hours are indeed real) lies on the school/ instructor as well as the student. Has anyone else been in the same predicament?What are some possible solutions?
I have the same problem, LAN wants my logbook stamped or a certificate with my total time. I have a couple of certificates from different schools and from my last job, that's it! My current job will not give me a certificate of my hours flown there, just a paper showing the totals. I don't think the FAA in the US would stamp my logbooks. Anyone else with the same problem?

I'm not an expat, just a Chileno that got his license and built up hours abroad And when I asked neither of the three CAA's (FAA/JAA?Canadian) stamp your logbook anymore
When I came to Japan they required a stamp on my logbook certifying the time as well, what I opted to do since I couldn't get such a certification from the FAA, nor from my previous airline, was to take my logbook to a notary public, raised my right hand and got my hours notarized, they accepted that, don't know if it could work for LAN.
I beleive the Dominican is correct. But also, check the consulate . Some airline may require that you verified the hours that way. IT is just a way of they making sure you are not lying.
I did what the Dominican said. After notarizing, I also did the process to get it Apostilled. It worked for me, no questions asked from the airline or aviation authority.

Take that Nice Logbook to Miguel Claro 1314, Providencia, Santiago (DGAC) while you´re in the conversion process and then they´ll stamp it for you, and extend you a Flight Time Certificate for near U$D 4.

Are they hiring Expat FO again?????? or is for Capt positions???
From a rumour standpoint is my understandig that LAN Chile has already filled the expat "Capacity" don't know if this is National regulation or Union negotiation (tend to think is the last one). I've been hearing that only Chileans FO recruiting is on the move right now... Anyway, as rumour always has it, seems that they'll be taking some Pluna guys, ¿where to? LAN Colombia and LAN Peru where the need for Capt looks kinda urgent.
Hey nikB, are you from Chile, if not do you have chilean passport. Are you applying for captain or fo?? When did they send you the email, how did you apply to them??
And then read in another spaniard forum in which im not registered they have been firing all the spaniards.
They say its because Spaniards have a bad attitude but they also say there was bad treatment and conditions involved against this european spaniards from the south american peruvian pilots. ( Lan Perú )
My take: they might be making room for the pilots from Pluna?
