as you say where are you going to find locals with that background
No, us locals cant be that experienced, no such thing as a 737 or an A320 round these parts no?
Caribbean Airlines has purchased Air Jamaica, and more than likely re branding, just like the BWIA-CAL transition, i suspect that everybody is now 'officially' unemployed and has to 'reapply'. The second ad for F/O seems a a lot less restrictive... an indication that they may also consider 'new blood'.
I also like the expression "market-favourable" remuneration package!
LoL, Salaries and such have always been 'taboo' round these parts, I wish things like that were more transparent.
