The manager added me at "LinkedIn". It seems that they're everywhere but doing nothing.
Couple of months ago they published a 737 F/O job for JAA pilots in Brazil, sent my CV and still waiting.

I applied with them, but never heard from them. People with less hours than me was contacted with an offer for 300 hours of line training at a quite a high price.
JAA FO in Brazil... Must be a joke! Brazil seems more closed to foreign pilots, than the US.

That was my guess. I'm close to 3k on the 73 so they probably thought I was not the guy to be offered a line training.

As far as I know, the only 737 operator in Brazil is VRG Linhas Aéreas (Gol and Webjet), unless there are other airlines in the north which I've never heard of. Gol had a mass dismissal in the whole company a few months ago. I don't know about Webjet, though, since they can't hire Gol crew for a 6 months period and they are receiving 73NGs from Gol.

Exactly. I've actually never heard of such thing as "a foreing pilot" here.

Good luck.

yeah they are just gathering informations, and selling them on. And might do a few dodgy Linetraining deals for P2f wannabe's. I doubt they ever placed a contract Pilot anywhere.....

After a serious googling session i cannot find any east african 737 operator apart from Ethiopian , but they go through Sigma not this crowd , this has to be another made up contract just like brazil and kenya and afghanistan...? so so frustrating.

Waste of time this lot. Applied when they wanted 75 crews (current on type), no response.

Send me an email recruiting BAe146 crews, of which i last flew 10 + years ago......
