Sorry to join the list of those with bad news, but a foreigner will have a very hard time finding a job that pays well here.

Unless you are very experienced, or have a type rating that is in demand, you probably won't get through the door. VASP probably won't fly again, Varig is also in trouble and the new start-ups probably won't come to much. Even if they do get off the ground (sorry ) they will not be paying much and demanding a lot.

A lot of experienced pilots are leaving Brasil for Asia and Europe because there are no positions here. I know a group of 12 who went east recently, including 10.000hr captains, and the main reason was the low salaries being offered here. It is an employers market at the moment, so it will be difficult for you.

As for other jobs in the industry, apu hunter was spot on. If you are in São Paulo on that salary, life will be very tough.

3holer gave good advice. Get married, stay where you are, and visit Brasil on vacation.

Good luck
