There are 2 airline in Saipan
1. Freedom Air
2. Pacific Island Aviation

You can try Freedom Air but the company have a big problem with the local people (Station Manager). The local people treat you like a slave. They are only junior school Graduate. The have no idea what they are doing all the time. Such as overload your plane, push you to fly when the weather below the VFR min. All kind of things happen in here. Once when you get into this company, I am sure that you want to quit flying.
Saipan is a very interesting place. The business man usually come from oversea and hiring a lot of foreginer but few local.
you can visit www.saipansucks.com to get more further info. And if you want to try here ou better to try
http://www.pacificislandaviation.com/ this company is NW airlink operate on Shorts360 between Saipan Tinan Rota Guam but they paid bad.

Happy flying

Have you thought of trying that little island just North of France?
I understand that they have airlines that are recruiting at present.
I'm sure you wouldn't have visa problems there.

My answer: (JAA) CPL Multi/IR CFI/II

Maybe you have other goals, but it just sounds so much easier to me. Flying abroad is fun, but flying at home, for me, would be the most rewarding.

Good Luck

Emm thanks, it may come to that, I assume you mean Norway, Holland etc...
The thing is sitting through that 6 months of JAA convertion isn't so appealing to me at the moment.
I'm working on the FAA ATPL which should help.
Who you flying for?
Do you know who's hiring or of course there may be N reg craft to fly..
