Pilots Union.

It's been a long time since I operated in TZ.

I will say this I think the idea of a pilots association is a great idea for protecting the interests of ALL pilots operating in that area. However their first actions of Banning Expats when there is always a shortage of qualified locals is wrong. It will hinder growth of aviation in the area which is bad for everyone. The guys that in turn will lose the most are the locals plain and simple.

The Pilot Association or Union needs to turn its attentions to more immediate needs like Safety that being Aircraft Maintenaince issues, Flight Duty Times, Training Standards...and Employment Terms and Conditions.. These are the things that the association need to focus on rather than Booting Out Mzungus who speaking from experience don't stay anyway.... Unless they are Greek and like shouting " WoW"

My few Shillingys Worth,

Pete
