Convert FAA certificates and work in Brazil

[Uncle Wiggily]

Does anybody know if you also need to have a Brazillian in order to work there. I am fairly hairy and it could be a painful process.

But as soon as you apply for the RNE you can start working...but not flying

Normally, you can only fly commercially as a Brazilian citizen, by birth or naturalized, not on an RNE. There are some very specific exceptions for a limited time only, but that will be arranged by the company doing the hiring.

Naturalization currently takes about 7 years, unless Italy has some reciprocal agreement with Brazil over reducing that time.

Italy does not have any reciprocal agreement. VARIG use to lease some 707 that were flown by Italian pilots, the planes were based out of Frankfurt flying to Campinas. There is a huge number of Italian pilots around the world flying ATRs, wonder if this law will change if they are gonna come to Brazil too...

I have a copilot job waiting in Brazil (unpaid)

... a "job"... is that what they are calling working for free now...

... race to the bottom...

Why not just hold the sign ''will fly for food and water"

And how many times we have to go over on the same thread that you need to be Brasilian to fly and get paid here! At least for now...
