Since noboby from the region has given you an answer I will tekk you wat I know. About 2 months ago I was teaching in Texas. A co workers former student worked for Tropic Air and he spoke to him a few times about getting work their. It seems that Tropic could not get work permits for outside crew.Sounded like a pretty cool place to live, also there are no instrument approaches in all of belize. A few weeks ago a massive Hurricane hit the and I think a few aircraft were destroyed. Thats all I got, Goodluck

Tropic Air had been recruiting for C208 pilots a few months ago. A few years ago they were able to get foreigners work permits if no locals were available, I believe that this is still the case.

Keep trying in the Caribbean. I heard some time ago that Tropic Air pay isn't good anyhow, and Belize is pretty expensive for being in Central America. I've even some some Caribbean companies advertising <gasp>!

I am a new zealand pilot...ATPL...around 6,000 hours....mostly multi turbo prop, looking for a change.
any ideas on good companies to approach, and what the aviation scene there is like?

Go into www.yahoo.com and search for "Caribbean Airlines". It gives a few puddle jumpers that sometime hire ex-pats. Also check in the Turks & Caicos-- pilots there although they don't pay much supposedly (it's expensive too). Check in the Aviator Select Canada forum under Air Crew Job Seekers-- a very recent thread there about jobs in the Carib. www.aviatorselect.com
