Thanks for your answer. Are you still there at winair? A lot of movement I hear...
Isla de oro...te refieres a st-martin espero!!!! Sounds good for rosters and flight time. Is the ambiance with management good, generally a good work place? Do you have to run after them for pay?
take care

Winair arranges the workpermit, they will tell you which documents you need before leaving your home country, crew are a 50/50 mix of locals and expats, gen. Canadians, Americans, but the passport really does'nt matter.
Pay is on time, no headaches, except when it comes to final cheque after giving notice, some have had to haggle,depending on the personal circumstances.
Lots of movement , generally back North, some to Africa.
Isla de Oro =Aruba

Thanks X for the info really appreciated. Good to know they run a tight ship down there, and that there's a good mix of locals with the expats. Have you flown there yourself?

Hiring lots of new guys with low time or time on type. You must have either time on type or the Flight Safety course. We got two more Twin Otters coming to supplement our 4 that are here plus the three Islanders.
Season is coming.....

The DCA (Directorate of Civil Aviation) resides on Antigua and is responsible for air traffic on the former British islands, now known as Overseas Territories if still loosely governed by the UK through Governors although they have their own local Chief Minister or independent islands such as Antigua/Barbuda, St. Kitts/Nevis, British Virgin Islands, St. Lucia. All have chosen/been forced to be guided by the DCA for the sake of simplicity.
Sint Maarten (one half of the island, the northern part Saint Martin being French territory governed directly from Paris as are Guadeloupe, Martinique, St. Barthelemy + some more) belongs to the Netherlands Antilles (SXM, Curacao, Aruba, Bonaire, Statia aka St. Eustacius and Saba)which are in effect very similar to the British Overseas Territories and have their own, NA CAA.
As all the islands depend heavily on air transport cooperation is usually easy. But all have different licences. OECS DCA uses Air Navigation Order (ANO) Overseas Territories amended 2000ish.
Don't forget the US islands.

All you need for the license down here is an ICAO Commercial Multi IFR. The CAA in Curacao then gives you a year based on that until you must go to Curacao and do what's called a B3 which is just a couple courses on tropical weather and a bit of Nav. They then issue you a B3 license good in the Dutch Antilles.

Getting my Type Rating
Hey Guys,
Any one have any news on Win Air's need for immediate pilots. I’m in the process of getting to Toronto for my twin otter type rating. Will Win air still be in need of pilots by Mid December?

Miky,
I'll say it again, all you need is an ICAo license, which, last time I checked, includes Europe. No Twin Otter course or time on type, no job. No direct entry Islander pilots.
