Hey everyone,
As some of you know, I am high school student who has wanted to become an airline pilot since birth. I am getting ready to start college in about 18 months and am definitely looking at UND and CWU for my flight training. I'll be glad to fly where ever I am needed. Whether that be flying boxes or for a regional to start. Anyway, I'm curious if the American aviation hiring industry sucks by the time I get there...What are the options for foreign flying? How would an American graduate with say a CFI or so go about getting a job with a Mexican Airline or a Canadian airline? Are they as restrictive as Qantas or what? Do you need a different type rating for flying for them? Lastly, is it worth flying internationally or should one stick through the time and attempt to keep getting on with an American airline? I appreciate the advice and would love to know what you guys think. I love speaking spanish and one day hope to be bilingual in English and Spanish. Therefore, flying in Mexico would be a great cultural experience (I vacation there at least once a year currently). And I also have an entire side of the family of "step-relatives" who live in Victoria, BC so I spend a lot of time in Canada too so Canada wouldn't be too shabby at all. thanks APF'ers!
