Pirate opportunities in Somalia?
 

Does anybody know of any recruitment agencies looking for pirates at the moment? I'm fed up with the aviation industry and want to move into something more lucrative. Is it hard to build your pirate hours?

At the moment they are looking to crew up a long range BN11.

:}PS.Send me a PM! I might be able to help you! Fluent ARABIC is a mandatory requirement!

As always, a lot of PIC hours required.

Looking for something more lucrative? Here it is bro: become a car mechanic! This is what I'm gonna tell my children one day too:}.
Forget about being a doctor or a lawyer and especially a pilot. Cars are the way to go. This year I was ripped off four times by four different mechanics. It's amazing what they can do to you when you are in trouble. The best one was a drunk Chrysler mechanic on duty who took my car into the dealership's shop after the car died on me. This moron called me at 3 AM from a bar asking for cash in order to fix the friggin car...:}

Quite right! it's just like aviation. There's no getting away from it - you will still have to pay your dues. You can build up time and gain experience here: The Fleet - Sea Shepherd Once you have gained enough experience and proved you are capable of handling entry level jobs such as harassing Jap whalers you will then be ready to step up to the majors.

I was thinking of getting the PPL (private pirate license) and then working my way through the ranks. Unfortunately I heard that some of the instructors are not really pirates, but pirate wenches instead. I am also considering of going through the pirate integrated course offered by a PTO (pirate training organization). Unfortunately, the new pirate cadet scheme has no firm offer of booty, just the promise of a cool eye patch.

Yeah and some of the PTO's are even accepting people who can't swim. It used to be such a noble profession.

errr... I only got a MultiPirateLicense... where can I sign up? :}

Important to remember that you need a minimum of a Commercial Pirates Licence if you're to make money out of it... otherwise it's just pirating for fun which restricts you to molesting female captives.

I'm into this to. My commercial pirate license is okay. Am just finishing instrument pirate rating so I can do ambushes even in bad weather and at night! Just where do I send my CV?

You can send your CV to

Pontius Pirate
Jerusalem
Palestine

So, I see now that this Somalian Pirate Ltd. is some offshore company!

Pirates wanted...
 

Do you have your Sea Transport Pirates License? Where have you Pirated before and what is the largest type on your License?

Anything smaller than the Black Pearl wont suffice and can you come back to us when you have a 1000hrs on type and 500hrs ORS (on rough seas).Type rated Candidates with Multi Sail Experience will be given preference.

Remuneration package: Loads of bucks or death

Health benefits once out on the ocean: None (unless your surname is Phelps)

Must be willing to relocate to the second "Arshloch von die weldt"/District 10

Please contact us at "Pirates of the Indian" for further distressful information or go and work on the set of Pirates of the Caribbean IIIIIII for a first-hand feel of what you are letting yourself in for.... (without Keira Knightley)

Two Major Pirate Unions
 

Sounds like a great profession,

I hear the unions are somewhat tough to join, and dues quite high...:ok:

Do you provide black eye patches, steel hooks and wooden legs for your pirates?

I have my STPL with MSE, however, I am looking for a change from the now not so lucrative waters of the Atlantic, to the more "happening" Indian Ocean.

My question is this: Will I need to do an Oceanic Conversion Course (OCC) in order to live and work on the Indian Ocean. If not, will my logbook of ransom notes suffice for evidence of experience?, or will I have undertake a simulated hijacking with an instructor?

I believe that someone well qualified, including only having one eye, may shortly be looking for a position where his qualities may be better used than at present.

Please write to :

Mr. G. Brown
10 Downing Street.
London W1 1AA

with details of salary etc. He may be tempted to apply for the position before May, when his current contract will be terminated.

Pay to sail
 

I have heard of pirate companies, indeed one or two pirates (one infamous swashbuckling pirate in particular) who offer pay to sail schemes, with a promise of definately maybe some piracy somewhere once completed. Also, true to the history of this buccaneering trade, state sponsorship is still rife, although not readily admitted.

Pay to Sail
 

Is Eagleboat one of them?

I heard they have two pay to sail schemes, one off the Somali coast and other one in the Strait of Malacca. Does anyone know more about this particular company?
