Brazilian legislation requires at least 1500h, but 250 of those must be logged as PIC (or 500h as "supervised pilot in command"). All my professional flying time is logged as SIC (800 as LJ35 FO, 3400 on the 737). So what many of us do here in Brazil is log those hours under supervision during our upgrade to captain, when flying with an instructor. Other than that, I would need to pay for roughly 100h on a Cessna in a Flight School in order to get the License

Hey all,
Received an email last week from SIA Recruitment. I'm DEFO applicant, non PR. Applied in October '22.
Online profile Review Status has changed to 'In Review'
Have been asked to submit further documentation.
Can I ask for anyone who has been through the DEFO process lately (PR or non) to message me please. Would like to get some info on the interview and whole process please.
For those of you who have been asking about how to update your online application - I just withdrew my application and submitted a new, updated one.
Thanks in advance for any help.

This job will be great for young single/folks without kids. Get some quality experience and then look for better opportunities out there. The only way to survive long term will be to adapt to the local lifestyle and live like a local. Forget any "expat" treatment/entitlement. Contrary to popular belief, they have plenty of pilots waiting to join on the terms on offer to live in one of the most expensive place on the planet.

Thats putting it mildly!
The whole industry is crap nowadays. People are nuts selling themselves for such poor coin. They won’t last long, eventually, the penny will drop and they will start complaining for more money. I’ve seen it all before. And as for getting some experience and going elsewhere, there is no where else to go. Crap paying flying jobs are everywhere! Your ‘experience’ is not worth anything anymore. Thank goodness I’m retired.

Hi
I applied to the DEFO position six months ago and up to now my status on the website remains as "submitted", is this a normal time for them to even take a look into the information?
The job sites are full of ads from them, but they don't seem to be in a hurry to review the candidate's profiles.
