I have a misdemeanor conviction from 9 years ago that was dismissed that will bar me from getting a position with any 121 carriers for at least another year, but I'll apply anyway once I arrive in PR.

Vieques Air Link and Flamenco are not doing on-demand flights anymore, only schedule, that's the reason they want ATP pilots.
Air America require IFR minimums, a friend is working there, and yes, the owner is not very friendly.
You can try M&N, Roblex and Air Cargo Carriers at SJU, cargo operators with short-360, sometimes they need f/o.
Seaborne is not hiring at the moment.
Isla Grande have many schools you can try, there is always looking for cfi.

Today I called Roblex to see if they're hiring for F/Os. They're not, but are expecting to in 3 to 4 months. I then asked what their typical minimums are, 1,000TT with 100ME and they do NOT require a Shorts type rating, they provide it. I should have those mins in a few months, I'll send 'em a resume then.

I was mistaken, after doing some research it is not on the untouchables list. A couple hundred more hours and I'll be in the running.
CDN, can you recommend a particular flight school in San Juan, or are they all pretty much on the same level?

I was down in San Juan about two years ago and during that visit I happened to find out that a place called Silver Wings Academy (if memory serves me right) was looking for CFII's at the time.
That could be a little bit of a haul if you're living on the West side of the island.
