From: KGRB, but on the road about 1/2 the time.
Most foreign pilots just come to Kenya gain flight experience and hours on our jets then head back to their country. I'm not against foreign pilots but the interests of the local people should be put first.
Of the foreign pilots I knew in Kenya, the vast majority of them had TONNES of hours before they came to Kenya, which is why they were hired. I knew a few guys who wanted to build jet hours, but they had plenty of Multiengine turboprop hours, and PIC hours, before they came to Kenya.

They guys I knew were all flying jets...I don't know about the situation at Wilson.
