rotormandan Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) Has anyone flown there? It looks like there's Vertical Solutions which uses r22/r44's for training and tours, and Caribbean Heli-Jet which does all kinds of random stuff with an astar b2, and bell 407 and 427. I'm more interested in Caribbean Heli-Jet but would like info on both. Good companies? Pay halfway decent? Mx ok? Preferred hiring mins? etc? What's the story down there?

heloidaho Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 One of my friends and first IPs took a job down there. Not sure what company he worked for, but he was doing VIP and corporate type stuff. He got the job after about a 1,000 hours teaching in Robinsons. He was flying Robbies down in the Carribean, too. He had a good time down there. Beautiful flying. I don't think the pay was amazing, but it was better than instructing. After that he moved on to the GoM and then to a bigger tour company flying turbines. Seemed like the career path worked great for him.

avbug Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 In puerto rico, set your clock back 15 years and get used to rust. Stay off the beaches at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rotormandan Posted November 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 It's a Latin based culture in a 2nd world country setting. That's exactly what I'm looking for. If I could I'd live in Peru. For now one could do PR and work the GOM. Plane tickets are cheaper than the rest of the states. I'd like to hear your story as well though.
