To all who complain about not being hired by LAN.
First. Actually, noone company in the world pays passages or acomodation for applicants. In Europe or USA is inconceivable today.
Second. It is clear that all companies seeking national, is not racism, but it is common sense: nationals will have a tendency to stay in their country.
Thirth. LAN Chile pays and TR and LT. That spending has to be retrieve it. To do this you must ensure that the pilot is psychologically prepared, not only flies well or have enough knowledge. That contempt for psychology is what has led many to fail.
Fourth. In assesments with European companies or Yankees, even have to pay the interview. It is not the case for LAN.
I am sorry, but the old times when if you were Yankee or European you could pass over nationals, but no vice versa to latinamericans in USA or Europe are (fortunately) OVER.
Best regards.
