Utility Flying in Russia

[Thilo]

Does anyone know if there is any utility flying available in Russia?

Do they accept FAA, TC or other licenses?

Please tell us this is a joke? Though one in exceptionally bad taste.

Well, maybe the OP needs a work to survive?
OTH, it does seem strange that a country of that size and remoteness does not have developed utility sector?

Looks up OP's location, understand what BRICS is.

They have their own industry, UT Air is/was a big player. Used to be some opportunities on the training side - they didn't have a lot of schools outside the military and were looking to farm out training outside. As a non-national I would say it is a dead end for you.
212man might have more insight.

Look up OP’s age, that, unfortunately may well go against him in any type of career.

If you are fluent in Russian, opportunities are there.

Why you would want do so?

Have worked with Russian pilots and engineers and they don't work in Russia.

Thanks Salusa

I am on standby for a EM survey job in Kazakhstan, since they are neighbours to Russia, I was wondering what to do afterwards.

I have also met Russian crews during my tours in Africa, their reason for liking to work outside Russia is because they earn at least two to three times what they would earn in Russia, or at least they did ten years ago.

This might represent good opportunity for those with military aspirations that did not make the cut previously.
You sign up to fly utility around Vladivostok and suddenly find yourself upgraded to fly Ka-52 around Ukraine.

Now to be serious, it's probably hard for any company to compete with an entity that is half owned by state and I don't think they would let a foreigner in.

I trust you say this in a merely matter of factual manner. Not that you support that type of age discrimination, do you?

Seems like a clear cut factual comment. In most countries you cannot fly commercial air transport after 65.

I don't have any current insights, but do tend to agree with your comments, from my past experience.

Certainly in a matter of factual manner, I actually turn 59 today and was pointing out that ‘ageism’ does exist when trying to pursue any career later in life, have friends that feel they have encountered it many times when applying for jobs and are overlooked for younger people without the experience and practical knowledge they have. For clarification I don’t support any form of discrimination!

The restriction is in the carrying of passengers, you can carry on doing utility work until you loose your medical.
