I used to fly in Jamaica, knew the Doctor who examines the pilots(Air Jamaica) etc. etc. Had lots of time and relevent experience, was a resident and STILL was SOL.
They are firm on the citizenship thing with the odd expetion of a contract Capt. or two every once in a while. As far as Express goes, I know an Aussie working there now, and he came with a Twotter PPC and experience - says he has little hope of moving to the Dash.
It's so damn hot there that sitting on the ramp in unairconditioned planes is torture. Very nice people though. Experss Twotters don't leave the Island very often and flight are VERY short.
