TACA Info
Curious how business is going at TACA recently. I've mostly found info from a few years ago. I read that they recently announced a purchase of 15 ATR-72's, are TACA pilots flying those or do they have a "regional" network of pilots similar to US carriers?
Also, I've read that you MUST be a resident of a central American country to work there. Any US ex-pats down there??
Thanks for any info.

My cousin works there as a manager- he walked my resume into the chief pilot who said he was going to give me a call- and nothing... anyway they merged with Avianca and are now Avianca Taca- before the merge if you wanted to fly for TACA you had to convert all your licenses to Salvadorian ones and you had to be a citizen to work there. the pay wasnt all that great as well. Now that they merged not sure what the hiring policy will be. But even with my family connections I am not interested anymore, especially with the majors picking up hiring later this year (hopefully...)

I was recently in Miami at Pan Am where Taca/ Avianca does their Airbus training. I was talking to one of their sim instructors and asked about hiring expats. He said nope and doubt it would ever happen.
