Hi Guys,
I am looking to start pilot training in South Africa with the hopes of coming back home to fly with KQ, am therefore looking for advice to help me settle on the right school and the right kind of training. I would glad if any of you gave their 2 cents on a some of the questions that I have:
1. 1st of all Progress/43rd/AVIC. Which on would you guys recommend based on the cost and quality of training

2. 43rd have this programme(iATPL) where you study for a CPL MEIR that includes Jet Orientation training on an A320 or a 737. Would this increas my chances of employement as a DEC

3 Can I be accepted as a DEC with 250hrs accrued during training or do i need to accrue more hours flying commercially on any other machine?

4 Lastly from what I gather is that KCAA requires you to have 250hrs before issuuing you with a Kenyan License, what then happens when you have only accrued say 238 hrs from your training and you need to convert?

Any replies will be highly appreciated. Thanks
