Trinidad

I came here in 1988 on a two year contract and, except for a short stint in ADA, am still here.

This is not a "Tropical Paradise", but a developed Island with traffic jams, free press, many radio stations, restaurants, shoppping malls, local crime and a higher living expense than the US.

If you come, you will see a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic and multi-gender society.

The age limits for pilots is now 65. For a two crew operations, the total age can't more than 120 years.

The local tempature varies between 75 and 85 Far. Year round.

The longest distance we fly, currently, is 66 NM.

There has been a large turn-over recently.

If you come here you need your own housing, expensive, car, twice the US rate and local advice.

A good place to start a foreign career.


We do have two female Captains, highly trained and very competent.


If you would like to join, PM and I will give you the details.
