LAN Chile application
I have filled out most of the application, but there are a few things I'm not familiar with.
They ask for a certification of hours flown, from the civil aviation authority. As far as I know the FAA doesn't issue any such certification. What can a US pilot supply for this?
They ask for certificates of English and Spanish proficiency, from a source known to the DGCA. Where can such evaluations and certificates be obtained?
I listed my Spanish proficiency as intermediate, which is what I have been told by a Spanish teacher. Does that tank me?
Any help from anybody who's done the application would be appreciated.

FNG1,
just to correct on some of the requirements you posted,
there is nothing about multi/instrument in LAN's requirements. They only require commercial with valid instrument rating. I know for a fact, that multi engine rating is NOT required. So, commercial single engine with valid instrument is just enough.
They also require minimum level 4 English and a first class medical taken in Chile. (for LAN Chile, of course)
You are correct on the rest of the info.
Cheers,
Y.

To captzeep;
The flight hour certification is something that we dont do in the U.S, so they accept a notarized logbook by a normal notary in your county.
The english certificate is something that you wont need in the application process, if you have FAA certificate with english endorsment. You will have to take the english test in Chile if you get selected for the job later.
Make sure you can read advance spanish, since you will be taking the ATP in spanish, in Chile if you get the job (it is Chilean regulation that anyone who fly airlines, must take it).
to Yeager08:
The multi engine commercial is to my understanding a requirement, since you will have to fly multi engine aircrafts commercially. If they dont listed is an error, which can come back and bite you if you get to Chile and the DGAC (Chilean FAA) ask for it.
Sorry for the delay, have been extremelly busy lately

FNG1,
I know it sounds absurd but commercial multi engine is not a requirement. I know this because there were many of us, me included, getting interviewed with only single engine ticket. I have my FAA multi engine ATP but only SE commercial in Chile. You'll get your multi engine at your LAN checkride.
Cheers.

Hi!
Just flew on LAN Chile, and talked to the pilots.
LAN just bought TAM in Brasil. All the LANs are together, but TAM will be kept separate.
They are planning MAJOR expansion this year. Late last year, they were already hurting for pilots and recruiting in Spain and worldwide. They will soon be joining the ME/India/China/Africa in trying to find a lot of pilots, and the numbers of professional pilots are going down, soon to drop off in precipitous numbers.
For us pilots, the hiring situation is looking better and better everyday, and will soon look like a dream!
