Default Caribbean Flying for Americans?

I was just curious as to what airlines flying in the Caribbean hire American pilots. I need to wrap my head around something other than the U.S. airline industry right now. It may not be any better down there, but I would like to start thinking outside the box.
I know WinAir hires American pilots, but you also need to go and get a DHC-6 type rating prior to training with them. I also know that they just furloughed almost all of their American pilots and ended up hiring more local pilots. I didn't think it was legal to hire when you have pilots on furlough but obviously things are different down there.
Any other airlines down there that would be worth looking into? Thanks guys
