Thanks for the info. Do you have any tel/email of flight ops or hr ?
I think I would better call them and find out more details.

Hola folks!

I have submitted my application to LAN Chile/Argentina/Colombia 5 mins ago...:uhoh:

I am an experienced (light) TP F/O and I have a working knowledge of Spanish. I have little or no trouble getting around, have a social chat with people, order food & drinks, asking for directions and watching news on telly. However I don't have a Spanish language certificate, only a CAA-certificated Level 6 and all the other UK-stamped bits and bobs.

Do you think I stand any chance to be invited for a selection? How long after submitting your details did you get called by LAN?

Suerte

DK :ok:

I am also interested to apply but I cant find any link on their website for application. Do you mind passing me the link? What type of experience they require?

Hi,

Did anybody go to the interview lately in 2012?
If so can you give a debrief?

Thanks.

Hi guys, any chilean pilot over there? Chile is a beautiful country and Lan Chile looks like a nice company where to work regarding the network and the fleet, but no many info on the web about the first officer position, i.e. roster, salary, t/c and so on. Does anybody has some info???
Thanks and happy landings

look at this same thread, pages before, it explains everything you are asking for, rosters, salaries, etc

Some of you guys are funny, or totally naif,sorry, but is the true.
Do you really think that Lan or any otter company in the area will hire you if you don't speak spanish?
Like this guy asking for the phone number to "call and talk" to them, about recruitment...how are you going to talk my friend?London or Liverpool accent?. Slow down Chuck Yeager, they need pilots for sure, but I don't think they are waiting by the phone for your call...The Chief Pilot e-mail...yes... like the most important thing that he has to do is recruit a low-experience guy that not even speaks the language.If you cannot find in the web-site how to apply how do you pretend to get along wit more complicated tasks.
I cleaned floors and parked cars for years in the US, learning english, before I was able to seat in a Sessna, so how you dear to pretend to be hire by a successful airline like Lan when you cannot even communicate. Please.

Thanks Materazzi,
I've found some info but still missing few details. I think 3600 USD is the basic salary for FO (>1000hrs) in Lan Chile, not the final figure. What about the perdiem and the overtime? What is the average flight time per month? What about days off, annual leave and sick leave? It would be nice to have a complete figure from someone inside the company.

Just to clarify, we use to write in english because is a common language but it doesn't mean that we are not able to speak a good spanish or better we're from South America ;)
Anyway I don't understand why pilots from South America can work everywhere and gringos are not welcome in South America, aviation is for everybody and language shouldn't be a barrier. English is the aviation language. I understand the preference to andinos and spanish speakers... but shouldn't be a limit.

Saludos

SO does anybody have any current info on Pluna? I understand they are hiring through Avionco, but would like to really know the low-down on these guys. I know they are hiring for the CRJ-900 and i have a couple 1000 hours in the 900 as well as even more in the 200. Just really would like to know about the job, etc... Thanks.

PS- I already searched the forums and found the one other thread on Pluna, which simply talks about people not getting their money.... I am looking for some more in-depth info....

Has anybody been called for an interview lately?

Claser111, South American pilots CAN'T work Everywhere... I can't work in the US... be thankful LAN is giving the chance to pilots to apply for such a great airline, flying A320, B763, B777, B787, or A340.. and the language requirement? that happens everywhere, go work for a Scandinavian airline, they have a language requirement... and Here is because all the process, since the 1st email you send, thru the Interview process, Indocrination, Ops manual, etc is in Spanish... the only thing is in English are the Flight Manuals for each Aircraft... about the Days Off, perdiem, etc, it's on this same thread.. just read..

Materazzi, thanks again for your answer! My thoughts on language was not referring only to South America...anyway I personally know many pilots from S.A. working in US, in Europe and in Asia. Good luck with LAN. :ok:

LAN Guatemala
 

I have Been listening rumors that LAN will have a hub in Guatemala???

I hate to say but...you should have stuck on the basic tasks a bit longer, gringo.

Unless you are LAN's CP why does it bother you so much if someone ask for a tip, a contact or an email address trying to have that bit of an edge on more experienced and competitive guys and get his/her CV looked up first? Did you get your call out of the blue while cleaning floors and parking cars and filled applications in your time-off only?

DK ;)

The application page now says you can apply if you are not from a Spanish-speaking country, but you need a certificate of proficiency from Berlitz Chile. The test can only be taken in Santiago.

I heard LAN is trying to set a HUB in Guatemala. is this true???

See the link I posted in Jobs...it seems it's for LAN Guate...

AFAIK not true, Taca maybe?

Where is that link at?? it seems they will be using Guate as HUB but no confirmation yet.
