What you find on websites are minimum requirements these are not what people normally get hired with. I currently fly with someone who worked for these guys a few years ago. You need a lot of float time to be hired as an FO or be Maldivian.

If you don't believe me send them an email asking what the realistic hiring minimums are for a place as an FO. I think you will be shocked.

If you do not have the right to work in USA or Canada and are not Maldivian I would forget about float planes. Not just for this job, I mean all float plane jobs. Most are in N America and those that are not require high experience that you wont be able to get unless you can work in N America.
