Any advice where/how to start? He speaks perfect English and his qualifications are below. Thank you!
FAA License:
* Private Pilot single engine
* Instrument pilot
* Commercial pilot single engine
* FCC radiotelephone operator permit
Colombian License:
* Commercial pilot single engine
* First class medical certificate

Try MAF (Mission Aviation Fellowship). It's a UK HQ'd Christian charity but they recruit pilots (CPL/IR) to fly in many third world countries ; Africa/South America et al. They fly mainly Cessna Caravans, oh and of course the candidate will need to be a committed Christian as it is a missionary based organisation. A chap I know couldn't get into the airlines in UK but was hired by MAF to fly in New Guinea. He loves the life and the challenge.
