I just read the requirements on the official webiste.

How much better are the odds for being hired if you posses a second language (Spanish) and have some international flying experience (South America)? Considering I´m a low timer of course, 300TT.

Thanks,

A second language and international experience would definitely be an asset if they're trying to choose between you and another 300h guy. Many of their co-pilots come from the Ottawa Flying Club, who drop off their resume in person and most likely see the CP on a regular basis prior to being hired (and/or are known by someone already working for the company and are vouched for, both as a pilot and as a generally decent person to get along with - someone that can be tolerated for up to 3 months in a crew house!)

Sander is looking for a Captain now, but, like any place, it never hurts to submit a resume and keep updating it as you gain experience.

I wonder when the Twin Stars will be going online, and if a hiring spree is to be expected at the time?
