Kind of giving you a hard time junior. It sounds like you've got the right personality though. I worked on boats through college up in Bristol Bay and around the Kenai peninsula. Personally, I'd get your ATP mins and get some jet time stateside(or at least something turbine). If you insist though, the previous poster said it. Gotta have "boots on the ground" in continent to be considered. And for Gods sake Man, bring some nice clothes and a proper flightbag, if only for your interview. You won't get in anything bigger than a caravan with a US passport unless you're typed and experienced. I did, but I'm the exception rather than the rule. And on second thought, I would go to afrika if I were you. You'll get frustrated, but you won't regret it. Oh, the clubs in Africa are abit more gentleman orientated than the bush company...
