U.S. pilots find high demand, high pay overseas
Americans signing on to pilot jetliners in the Middle East, China and India can make well over $100,000 a year, plus add-ons like housing. (news.blogs.cnn.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
If you go over to a third world country, such as India....and parts of Africa and other parts of Asia, except China, then you are doing it solely for the money, which at times is difficult to collect. I've been there...so I know. There are no Freedoms over there and security is much lacking. The money is not worth it, especially if you are a family person. You will live in a compound area, eat their food, obey their laws, and do not fraternize with the common population....if you know what I mean. Do not go out in the streets alone, especially at night. You can carry no weapons for protection, but they will. Air traffic control is an experience to be experienced in India especially. Good times!
Sounds like the hell some of our troops go through in certain areas of the world except they have weapons and can't use them
If you are a Soldier of Fortune type......it would be an experience. Takes all the "Fun" out of it ....doesn't it?
Not sure I'd lump India in there with some African countries, etc. English is widely spoken there, many things in American culture came from there (via Colonial England), and they have a real democracy. I think India and China like to think of themselves as "emerging" and not "Third World".
India maybe emerging country, but China!? Any country under Communist control is NOT emerging. Perhaps the leaders are!
George, why are they making all the products we buy here in the U.S? And we are buying all or at least most of it. I believe they call it NAFTA......which we created. Why do we keep borrowing money from them? I don't like it....but, it is what it is! They're emerging.....like it or not. Bisiness aviation in that region is booming, and there is some significant monies to be made there.....not bad!
Phil NAFTA has no working agreement in China. It stands for North American Free Trade Agreement, We trade with China cause they have money, and want what we have 777's 787's, and the like.
Ed,
I mispoke.....sorry. Yes, they do have lots of money and a ton of folks....that buy our Aircraft....made in the USA. We do have the best Aircraft in the world!
