I am wondering if anyone has any information on crop dusting jobs in South and Central America. Specifically the spraying of poppy fields to kill the plants used to make illegal drugs. Have heard that civilian pilots are able to work for these outfits on contract basis. Any contact information or websites would be appreciated.
Thanks

DynCorp planes and pilots fly the defoliation missions over the coca crops in Colombia.
a DynCorp aircraft mechanic, filed a lawsuit against his employer. The suit alleged that that in the latter part of 1999 Johnson "learned that employees and supervisors from DynCorp were engaging in perverse, illegal and inhumane behavior [and] were purchasing illegal weapons, women, forged passports and [participating in] other immoral acts."
"DynCorp is just as immoral and elite as possible, and any rule they can break they do,"

And here's what you get to fly. I thought the job looked interesting. While checking it out I found that the pay was good $100,000US + with no tax, plus room and board are paid. They will even continue to pay you for the entire time you spend imprisoned after being captured by the Columbian drug cartel. Also seems to be no shortage of missing or dead pilots so there should always be a few openings

No you spray herbicides on plants.....
It kills the plants.
To kill people you need to drop napalm on them, that's a different job all together.
When killing plants you are known as an Ag. Pilot.
In the other job would be called either a military pilot or a mercenary pilot...the latter pays way more, however it entails more risk.

Abe..
I sprayed thousands of gallons of it for years from airplanes and helicopters and suffered no negative effects, hell I'll probably out live all my friends and it might be due to my association with herbicides, just made me tougher.
The agent orange thing was just more media overreach on fact.

There was actually a report on the CBC not too long ago about Plan Colombia and the toxic effects the herbicides had on the people in villages affected. In addition, it also erradicates non-coca crops as well, destroying the economic capacity of these people. The chemical was reported to be considered unsafe for use in the United States, yet it has no problem with spraying it on other countries. If you like to be an accomplice in the crimes of imperialism, be my guest...

I held a Canadian aerial applicators license for years ( Ontario. ), and flew spray planes and helicopters for years.
As well, I mixed and applided thousands of gallons of herbicides such as 24D, 245T, TCA, Roundup, Manez and on and on and on...
We applied these chemicals under direct supervision and in compliance with Canadian rules and laws....
So in your mind I am an accomplice in crimes of Imperialism?
I hope you are not a Commercial pilot, where do you get such bizarre ideas?

Read an interesting article about one of these outfits a few months ago in a US newspaper-- don't remember the complete details.
Some of these companies are about as gray as you can imagine-- poor management, support, unsafe operations. They had one of their Caravans go down in FARC (Fuerza Armada Revolucionaria de Colombia) held territory (engine failure), some of the pilots and occupants were executed on site by the FARC. Next day one of the search planes hit a ridge. One of those live fast, die young type of jobs. I would think that WestJet makes for a better career option.
Paid a visit to Colombia a few years ago. Very friendly people, beautiful women, but a country where death and terror are never far away. An Avianca pilot philosophized "living to old age, is just a matter of luck here."

Cat Driver,
There is certainly a difference between spraying it consentually for agricultural purposes within Canada, as opposed to forcibly erradicating crops in whole villages (which are supposedly coca, but you can never be completely certain of it all). There is no lack of reports of human health hazards it has caused in these villages.
Commercial Pilot? Not yet, but don't see what thats got to do with anything.

Had some contact with Dyncorp during the first Gulf war. Black ops stuff doing a lot of government dirty work that needed to be "sterilized". I am pretty sure they are up to it in the present Gulf war as well. I would be very weary of getting involved with this type of thing unless you have a death wish. I should leave it at that.

Wirez :
The reason I am responding is to get you to get your brain in gear and use some logic when you reach conclusions.
No lack of "Reoprts" means SFA in determining if any demonstrable harm has come to these "villiage's "
How come myself and hundreds of us in the Ag. business who literally washed our hands in the stuff show no physical damage from these chemicals?
I believe that you like many of your peer group are being brainwashed by social engineering morons posing as experts.
