I a 737 pilot am looking at relocating permanently to Antigua, as my partner has been offered a job there.
What realistic opportunities would there be for me to get a job? I would pay for another type rating and i'm not that fussed what I fly.
Contact Caribbean Star, they fly dash8's.
Good luck:ok:

One has to be a Caribbean national [caricom] for employment with LIAT and Caribbean Star are not hiring non nationals on contract again [that's what i just got from one of their pilots].The best bet is 'Carib Aviation', they fly light twins, you may get lucky.

Rumor has it that a company called Carib jet Cargo has aquired 3 L1011's for their base in Dussledorf but will register them in Antigua.
CBJ Cargo, the cargo arm of Caribjet, will soon receive its second L-1011. The aircraft involved is N102CK (msn 1198), which was ferried to Amman on February 26 for heavy maintenance by JORAMCO.
It will likely be re-registered in Antigua. If the company's plan to build a hub at Dusseldorf comes to fruition, they will acquire three additional ex-Kitty Hawk L-1011-200Fs.
Any of my West Indian brothers would like to comment on this?
Sounds like another "Lester Bird" deal .

I needed to re-read that! :rolleyes:
Better a Lester Lewis deal than Lester Bird!
I will love to get more information on this, do the company have a web site? Do they hire Caribbean Nationals?
