Hi!

The only experienced pilots that are excess are in the US and Canada. Europe, Latin America, Africa, Asia and Australia have no excess experienced pilots.

The FAA and NavCanada made it easy to crossover with your US or Canadian license, but you still need the right to work.

It is the rest of the world that is looking to America to get their pilots.

I recently heard from a recruiter that his buddy was hired as a street captain and check airman on the -767LR. He was a retired US guy, age 63, and he was found by one of the desperate contract agencies-he didn't apply or even know about the job. They took him even though he can only fly two years.
