Jobs on Sea Planes?
 

Would anybody happen to have any information on Sea Plane operators in the Indian Ocean Islands and elsewhere? I know of two companies in the Maldives, Maldives Air Taxi Services and Trans Maldives Airlines. Would anyone have information on either of them, ie requirements for pilots etc.
All info greatly appreciated!

Here's the site for Maldives Air Taxi www.mataxi.com/ I think it used to be operated by Kenn Borek, so a Canadian license would probably be a plus. Dunno about the other one.
You can check out Borek Air's website at http://www.borekair.com/

There's some info at http://ebushpilot.com/friends.htm. (scroll down just over half way).

Hope you make it. Must be the best job in the world.

Thank you for the replies, they have been of much interest and use. I now have additional links to similar operations too. Thanks again!

MAT is one and Trans Maldivian Airways(TMA) (formerly Hummingbird Airways) is the other. MAT prefer you have a full ATPL, over 2000 total with a decent amount of float time, not exactly sure on TMAs requirements. You start off as an F/O and stay as one until you get at least 500 on type then you get a chance to become a captain.
