Aviation in chile
Posted by Ok-War-5961@reddit | flying | View on Reddit | 4 comments
Good evening friends, how are you? I’m Brazilian, I’m 17 years old, I was almost starting my course in Brazil but my family had to move to Chile for issues that are not in our control, it’s an incredible country, but I really don’t know aviation, I don’t know if it’s too much to ask for someone to explain me more or less the Chilean market, like I know the airlines but I don’t know how it works in general, do the companies hire a lot? Is there strong general/executive aviation? What is usually the first job of the pilots there? Is the airline very difficult? I know they’re silly questions, but I really didn’t find much about it on the internet.
About schools, does anyone know any good ones in the Santiago region?

It's easier to fly in Chile because they only go north and south.

I'm a US citizen born in the US but I have a Chilean parent and I've had it on my mind to move to Chile and just live there. Sunmal is a Chilean who lives in the US but they have actual experience dealing with the DGCA there.
Perhaps they know someone you can get in touch with? I've only ever looked at a school in Concepcion but I have seen a flying club in Santiago although I never went there when I was last in Chile. From my own experience looking the job market in Chile, like many other countries in SA aren't very good compared to the US.
I have no clue what aviation is like in Brazil but I do see regular job postings there. Perhaps you can train in Chile and then when you're older you can move back to Brazil and work there.

Yes man, really South America compared to the USA has nothing, the USA market is the dream of anyone who is born abroad, well at least I speak for myself, but for me it is unfeasible for visa issues, who knows in the future, but yes the Brazilian market is more stable, but I will be honest with you, Chile is a very good country, Brazil a small part of the parents have the infrastructure, it is a country that I have a lot of affection for, I grew up there, but there even having money and being part of the 5% that has wealth in the country, still suffers from the lack of urban infrastructure, organized crime, drug trafficking, police bribery, roads without the slightest maintenance, in short, Chile offers me quality of life, and man this really weighs a lot, I have never been to the USA, from what I see it is a very good country despite its problems, but so in my reality, Chile is what offers me
But man, if it’s not for a family issue, I think you’d better stay with us
