Hi Neville B29, As someone pointed out above, what is your direction, floats or airlines? I met a fellow who started flying in Alberta at 40 years old. He sent out resumes to everyone who owned airplanes and wound up in South Africa about 10 years ago. From there he got on an ATR42 from there an A320 in China and now at Emirates. He is due for upgrade soon I believe if he is still here. Anyway point being; mail everyone and not just locally. Get a passport and all your vaccinations while your looking. Anywhere you go from North America you will need them. Hope this helps.
