Hi all,
I am planning on relocating to USVI in the near future, and i would like to secure a job as a Pilot (or at least make some contacts) before i do.
I am interested in a VFR Charter, or Aerial Scenic Tour/Photo-Flight operations.
I have spent hours researching online, but have been unable to gain much information. Im hoping there are some smaller operations which i havent discovered yet. Any company information would be greatly appreciated (name, address or phone, type of operation).
Also, if you happen to work as a pilot in the area, i would love to talk with you.
Thanks for your help!

Maybe the Yellowpages would be a good place to start? www.viphonebook.com I have met many pilos here, but they never mention anything about needing any help, and I never see anything in the Trader about it, either. Maybe they turn in different circles? Maybe they always have enough help? Dunno. Try places like Seabourne, Cape Air and Liat. Good luck.

BJ-
A BVI charter company is hiring pilots. You would probably have to ferry over to the BVIs in the morning if you chose to live in the USVI. But I've heard good things about Island Birds. Good place to start.
good luck

If you don't have your ATP, then you might give Al Jan a call at Air Ventures in Paradise. He does instruction and gives island tours. I think he does charter work too.
