How many hours total do I need to apply?
Thanks
I know for a fact that for Panamanians to apply the minimum hours are 250T-10M, those are the posted minimums on their website, I know someone that was hired without being panamanian but that person had more hours than that.
I only have a Panamanian private so I would have to get my FAA certs converted since the planes are registered in Panama, I dont know how that process works, I will get to that in the near future.
My recommendation would be to apply at the website and see what happens
As far as pay pilots recently got a pay raise, but the first six months during training are brutal, with a training salary of only 600 bucks a month.
After that it goes up to around 3-4K a month depending on how much you get in travel expenses, fliying about 90 hours a month.
Smoothlander, my friend is doing great, still in IOE but he is grounded right now, since his captain is busy checking out a new captain.
