What can be done before spending $$$
Before you move there and start spending money in your convalidation, there is any way that someone down there take a look at your resume and let you know if there is a solid interest in hiring you?
If somebody tell me yes we do have interest, do your convalidation and we will accept you in the selection process, then I will take the risk for sure.
Like AeroDiaz, I'm in Canada, 950 TT, 450 Multi Turbine (King Air 200), I wouldn't mind live in someplace warmer and flying a pretty good machine.
Thanks
p.s. soy sudamericano asi que no problem with the language.
