Twin Otter companies.

[African Drunk]

Can anyone suggest any Caribbean companies operating Twin Otters who take foreign pilots. Done Africa and am looking for a change. Also how hard is it for conversions from JAA/FAA licenses.
Many thanks

I do not think you will find any Twin Otters in the Caribbean operating on a schdule airline, the last was LIAT in 1997. Good luck in finding.

Are they looking for pilots on the Dash8 as well?

Is Jamaica Express recruiting on the Dash 8? Will they accept pilots from Barbados? Who should I be applying to?

thanks in advance for your help.

re: winair

There are a bunch of guys flying for them with less than 500 hrs, a couple less than 300. I was going to go down and fly right seat with about 300 hrs. Mostly guys from Canada that did the course at Flightsafety in Toronto. The mins that they have posted on the site are a joke. Chief pilot was Eddie Hodge or Capt. Oliver.

Shockwaves sorry for the late reply. I am still trying to get the information for you. I do not think they are taking non-jamaicans on the DHC-8. They have a few EC Express guys that came with the aircraft. (so it is not impossible) but i need to confirm what is going on now. I will keep you posted.

[cordy]

Thanks J I will like that information as well.

Try WinAir in SXM, but short field experience is a must (<1100ft). Do a search on their web site.

Others are Carib Aviation in ANU( Contact Ops Manager Capt Francis Fuller) and SVG Air in SVD (Contact Ops Mananger Paul Gravel). Check web for web sites.
