I saw the link, its very possible that is LAN Guate, TACA ? no way they dont look for candidates with time on the A320. we will see later on.

Is there a specific place where I can find the profile of the airline, (LAN CH, AR, PE, EC, CO) with information on, schedules, pay, upgrade, vacation, benefits, qualifications, key people and any other pertinent information ?

Thank you.

Hello all

I recently got an email from LAN asking to send them my papers (license medical) as well as a certificate from the CAA confirming my flight hours.I have a JAA license and the CAA here in Europe does not issue such a certificate.in fact that responsibility (that my flights hours are indeed real) lies on the school/ instructor as well as the student. Has anyone else been in the same predicament?What are some possible solutions?

speedbird1974 10th Jul 2012 17:07

I have the same problem, LAN wants my logbook stamped or a certificate with my total time. I have a couple of certificates from different schools and from my last job, that's it! My current job will not give me a certificate of my hours flown there, just a paper showing the totals. I don't think the FAA in the US would stamp my logbooks. Anyone else with the same problem?:ugh:

Are they hiring Expat FO again?????? or is for Capt positions???

NikB 11th Jul 2012 08:09

I'm not an expat, just a Chileno that got his license and built up hours abroad :)
And when I asked neither of the three CAA's (FAA/JAA?Canadian) stamp your logbook anymore :confused:

The Dominican 11th Jul 2012 08:45

When I came to Japan they required a stamp on my logbook certifying the time as well, what I opted to do since I couldn't get such a certification from the FAA, nor from my previous airline, was to take my logbook to a notary public, raised my right hand and got my hours notarized, they accepted that, don't know if it could work for LAN.

elcapi1980 11th Jul 2012 12:22

I beleive the Dominican is correct. But also, check the consulate . Some airline may require that you verified the hours that way. IT is just a way of they making sure you are not lying.

MDT06 11th Jul 2012 15:12

I did what the Dominican said. After notarizing, I also did the process to get it Apostilled. It worked for me, no questions asked from the airline or aviation authority.

Take that Nice Logbook to Miguel Claro 1314, Providencia, Santiago (DGAC) while you´re in the conversion process and then they´ll stamp it for you, and extend you a Flight Time Certificate for near U$D 4.


Are they hiring Expat FO again?????? or is for Capt positions???
From a rumour standpoint is my understandig that LAN Chile has already filled the expat "Capacity" don't know if this is National regulation or Union negotiation (tend to think is the last one).
I've been hearing that only Chileans FO recruiting is on the move right now...
Anyway, as rumour always has it, seems that they'll be taking some Pluna guys, ¿where to? LAN Colombia and LAN Peru where the need for Capt looks kinda urgent.

Read this, and you'll see
LAN, Copa y BQB se disputan a los codiciados pilotos desempleados

Thanks a lot for your help guys!Much appreciated :D:ok:

dlcmdrx 13th Jul 2012 15:09

Hey nikB, are you from Chile, if not do you have chilean passport. Are you applying for captain or fo?? When did they send you the email, how did you apply to them??

diego727 7th Aug 2012 22:17

Any news for expats?

dlcmdrx 11th Aug 2012 18:09

LAN Airlines pilot jobs, payscales and entry requirements.

And then read in another spaniard forum in which im not registered they have been firing all the spaniards.

They say its because Spaniards have a bad attitude but they also say there was bad treatment and conditions involved against this european spaniards from the south american peruvian pilots. ( Lan Perú )

My take: they might be making room for the pilots from Pluna?

diego727 13th Aug 2012 17:32

I'm guessing that's LAN Peru only right?

ArmApp 17th Aug 2012 08:45

I´ve heard LAN is not filling its needs for pilots, is that true?

FlyingOW 18th Aug 2012 21:01

Peruvian aviation regs state that only Nationals be hired by airlines, with the exception of CAN nationals in recent times. Foreigners can only be hired if and when there aren't any locals who are suitably qualified. The aviation/labour lawyer mentioned in the article opposed the hiring of Spanish pilots because:

1. Plenty of unemployed local pilots.
2. There exist no reciprocity between Peru and Spain.

This can hardly be called racism, can it? Of course not. Seems perfectly acceptable to me. You want to hire foreign nationals? Ok, just give my guys the same opportunities in the their country, and give the guys on the street a chance first. Could I go and fly in Spain if I wanted to? Would Sepla allow it? Real question btw.

So the company was able to convince the government that skilled/rated Spanish pilots were necessary to meet LAN Peru's growing needs of expansion. And as Read, Speak & Write Spanish is an absolute must they looked towards Spanish shores to supplement the already culturally diverse work force.

The Spanish contingency were met with open arms by LPE Pilots. I personally get on quite well with most of them, and am told by most FOs they enjoy flying with them. Nevertheless more than half have left for pastures green of their own accord, with the exception of 1, and some have stayed and settled in (3 plus years and going) I take it the company is looking to recruit more DECs from Spain over the next year, so again clueless about the firing of Spaniards for Pluna guys.

Your post talks about bad attitude and bad treatment from "South American Peruvian Pilots". Why don't you ask those that stayed why they chose to do so, and why this who left did instead of making reference to other forums.

I hope this brings any further discussion on this subject to an end as I have no desire to waste any more of my time engaging in debate with you.

Very well said!:D Can´t agree more.

LAN Perú hired a bunch of DEC spaniards more some months ago. All of them with previous experience on A320.

They are happy and the compay too.

Actually 8 spaniards (from +-400 pilots) within Lanpe.

Facts
 
I have a Ecuatorian friend who is working for an airline in Spain, he come here, did his JAA conversion somehow get the "papers" and now is flying like anybody else.

I have not heard still a "law" that states that there is a limited number of foreigners that can fly in a Spanish airline. Just to keep in mind, as long as you speak Spanish and have the appropiate "papers" and license required you are more than welcome to come on board.

Not only that, I have another 2 Italians friends and one dutch that are working in another Spanish airline, and in a corporate company with absolutely no problems, they speak Spanish "fairly" well.

And if you look around Europe, if you have the right to work and live there and speak the language that is required (German, Polish, English, Spanish, French) somebody from outside the EU have exactly the same rights like somebody else from within the EU.

I am from Spain, however I HATE aviation in Spain that is why I want to go somewhere else, tried South America, Caribbean etc but no luck so far. In LAN Peru they told me that I pass the interview, (along with some other Colombians, Venezuelans, Americans) but the fact that I was from Spain drop me out of it at the time of the hiring (but not some of the others).

Regarding Copa.... They hire everybody for Captains, regarding FO's they dont like foreigners, they preffer send to the 737 sim Panamenians with 250 TT that does not speak English AT ALL, there is a high percentage of fresh Panamenians CPL's that FAIL the type rating, not because their skills, because some of them they do not even know how to say "Hola" in English.

I think we should leave on the side all this thing about racism and all this stuff because let me tell you that in EVERY country is a lot of racism with foreigners, in Spain, Peru and EVERYWHERE ELSE.
