Apply! I'm sure they'll hire foreigners. It has been a trickle in Caribbean Aviation for years. First we didn't want to hire each other and then we didn't want to hire foreigners but it seems that both are things of the past.
The unions are feeling the squeeze and it may not even be possible to stand united anymore, unless it’s in principal from the desert. So now they will run out of locals that are willing to accept the new terms and conditions that CAL has come up with.
If you can get through the HR BullS without puking
and being made to feel like they are doing you a favour, I wish you luck. Been there, done that and was not impressed. It’s very sad not to feel proud on your nation's flag carrier. It has the potential to be GREAT!
