The information I listed above was from the established links on the "Latin American Aviation Weblinks (http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=134851) sticky.

The link for the following site is also on that same thread. ;)

Carib national = yes

How much to convert $15,000cdn?

I heard BWEE is now accepting ICAO licences. All you have to do is write the Trin & Tob Air law exam? Is this true?

[cochise]

Bwee is currently not accepting resumes but yes, if they were going to hire they would accept ICAO licenses as the CAA here just changed the laws in order to please the FAA so that we could get Category 1 back.
On the other hand if Bwee hires I'm sure there's a waiting line the size of the great wall of China! Still lots of unemployed pilots and employed pilots that would like to be Jet jocks.
