What's the job market in South America?
I found the threads to W. Africa to be very interesting and was wondering if we have already something similar for the S. American market.
My apologies in advance if the thread already exists.
I am trying to find out how the job prospects are and if someone could point me out in the right direction, yes, another one looking for a new job... Any info or contacts are very much appreciated.
I have been in Mexico for a year now and have been doing some flying in N's but it's getting more and more difficult to find them or at least with a serious operator, otherwise it's almost impossible to convert to a mexican CPL due to the requirement to be mexican by birth.
Nicaragua has only one civilian operator using two R44 and a Bell 206L.
Colombia has currently no need for foreign pilots because they have more than enough after Vertical finished their contract in Afghanistan and had to let go a lot of people.
Peru and Bolivia are pretty much on standby waiting for new projects to start but it's and endless story. I heard Erickson flew their crane from Peru to Ecuador.
Does somebody else have any other leads willing to share or PM?
Regards.
