Any info on Aeroperlas / Shorts operators?
Hi guys!
Looking for any info on Shorts operators in South America and the Carib area, in particular Aeroperlas who seem to have a few.
I'm a UK based pilot with a Shorts rating looking for an FO's position so any info would be much appreciated.
Thanks !

Aeroperlas does have Shorts, however, you need to be a Panamanian citizen to be able to get a license. Airlines can have short term Captains with loads of experience-- I don't believe Aeroperlas would be looking for expats though. FO's make starvation wages, Captains do better but not good.
Sheds
Hiya, i know there used to be a few Shorts Skyvans in Guyana , all on 8R reg. based in Georgetown, Also was a company Air Calypso in Guadeloupe but mate of mine told me few months ago that he thinks they have ceased trading????? They were on F-O reg. Dont know of many other Sheds there.

Try Islena airlines http://www.flyislena.com in Honduras they have 2 shorts ,some ATR's and Cessna caravans.
They are in the TACA group , look under fleet on the webside it shows other Shorts operators in the area.

Best of luck. Honduras, like most Central American countries have old archaic air regulations which demand citizenship of their country to even hold a professional license. Many of these regulations were written in the 50's and smack of patriotic and national security concerns. So unlike in most North American or European countries, it is not just an immigration matter (to be allowed to work) as much as a civil aviation matter (to be allowed to work in the field of aviation).
