Above poster is correct, they only take foreign pilots who have a full ATPL and who can act as Captain from day one. You will therefore need in excess of 1500 hours (I was quoted 3000!). This is a regulatory requirement. They also require a crazy amount of float time which only those flying in the Caribbean/Hawaii/Canadian north will have. Practically that means they only hire Canadians and Americans. Webbed-feet are therefore probably common at TMA and I'm not talking about the sea life!

In a word, don't bother. Try Susi Air in Indonesia. I did and it worked
