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%.

Can't say you are wrong. This is by far the most positive from you on this thread, but you gotta realize september 11th changed things a lot. All thise pipeline or banner towing stuff you are talking about, I looked into all of those. The problem is right now with all the TSA requirements and security threats when poeople see you don't have greencard most just don't even bother. It might have been an option even few years ago. These days without greencard there isn't much you can do and definitely not flying jobs.
