Avianca El Salvador
Does anybody know any hiring information about Avianca El Salvador? Hour minimums , quality of life, salary? I heard they don't hire any foreign pilots, but my parents are salvadoran born. I have been trying to find recent information about them online, but it has been a bit difficult to find.

So El Piloto...
If I understand you, Avianca (El Salvador) does not hire anyone who is not a citizen of El Salvador, correct? What if I am a Salvadorian citizen (born), but also a US citizen? Last I check El Salvador does recognize dual citizenship.
If your answer is correct... "If it's Avianca, I think the same minimums apply.. 250tt IR, and CMEL..." then...
-A dual citizenship, TT250, IR, CMEL, etc. means Avianca "will hire you" as an FO for either the E190 or even a A320? or something for the right seat. Is this correct?

Huh? You lost me? The idea to work for a foreign flag is to built hours on the right seat and eventually the left seat. If Avianca gives someone the opportunity to fly the right seat of a A319 with 500TT that 's less time to get to a legacy carrier in the US. Not to mention you are an FO with low time and potentially have turbine time by the time you take the ATP, not an option in the US.
But then again, I could be wrong if others want to chime in please do.

I also recommend staying far away from any carrier that's on strike, even a foreign one. In the modern age of the internet it's a small world and you don't want that drama following you.
Best of luck.

Wait...Avianca El Salvador? Isn't Avianca a Columbian company? How is Avianca different from Avianca El Salvador, Avianca Peru, Avianca Costa Rica, Avianca Ecuador, and the other Avianca companies based in different countries. How is it that a Brazilian company called Synergy Group can have 11 different airlines, most of which hold US DOT authorization, and only one of which is based in Brazil, and not incur the 'Flag of Convenience' charge from ALPA?
