I can't argue with you on that. My spanish it sketchy and my german is even worse (my French is "tres bon"). Yet, I am not trolling around on spanish or german aviation sites picking arguments. In any event, your point is well taken. I wish him good luck. American aviation is in need of multi-lingual pilots. It seems like we are always being catered to when we fly in foreign countries. Thanks!

 

Maybe he's saying you haven't been extracted from a mixture, and misspelled educed...
e·duct
–noun
1. something educed; eduction.
2. Chemistry. a substance extracted from a mixture, as distinguished from a product.

 

hah! good one!

 

Dude relax!

The BEST instructor I ever taught with was a Korean guy before they sent him back.

The dick department head refused to sponsor him.

 

I hear there are jobs flying bush planes in africa... just an option to keep flying.

 

I don't meet the medical standards for ICAO or JAA. FAA is the only one where I can get a Class 1 easy. It's ok I'm coming to realize I just have to forget about flying and go home. There comes a time when you realize if you keep trying to get what you want, you only got more to lose. I already invested enough money on flying and college and it's not worth investing anymore when my chances look zero.
I was just hoping that maybe someone in this forum would know something that can be helpful. Surprising thing is most people had more poking about my poor English than what really was important. Wasn't looking for sympaty in any ways. Just thought maybe someone would provide some valuable info.

 

ICAO probably isn't what you're meaning. You're most likely talking about either JAA or FAA. What is it you don't seem to have that would fail you? Europe, the middle east, and asia are so hardup for pilots so long as you already posses the ratings all you have to do is do the tests and checkride for your JAA.

 

True enough. With nothing but english speaking pilots here there's plenty of fun to go around.

You need to send an email to [email protected] He was a cfi while a citizen from Zimbabwe. He was my cfi and even thought classes at Baylor. He was then hired on at Pinnacle where I helped him do some paperwork ect. It was a real pain in the arse but a regional would hire so long as you don't jack around and get your hours.

Look into fish spotting out of Louisiana, radio relay, pipeline flying, powerline flying, tourist flying in Alaska ect. All of those offer easily 100hrs a month. Doing radio relay I flew over 200hrs in one month up and down the gulf coast in all weather with crappy equipment. It was fun but had its share of dangers.

Also check out pprune.com. It's a very "international" message board. You can talk to pilots from just about any country you can imagine. They know all the ins and outs as many of them have done what you are trying to do.

To others on here who are making slide remarks, including my joke I made, the purpose here is to educate and support pilots of all groups no matter where they are from. Not to kick whoever you can out of the pool to increase your odds .0001%.

 

Someone suggested it before, but Ill chime in again:

You should look into the All Nippon Airlines program in BFL.
www.ifta.aero, www.ifta.net

You will be working with Senior 747 line captains to train newhire FO's from zero to get them ready for 737, 767 or 747.

They pay well and have sponsored candidates in the past.

One of my buddies from there finally got his green card and is in groundschool at a regional right now...

Cheers
George

 

Trust me I know how the Civil Aviation work back home. Altught most countries are part of ICAO a lot f them still have their own rules. Back where I from you can only wear corrective lenses as long as your corrective lense power is below -3.0. Mine is -4.75, so passing is out of question. I already had my talk to people about this back home to verify this. It is true they are despart for pilot in middle east, but that doesn't mean they let people fly who does not meet their medical standards.
