I have recently been made redundant by one of the major airlines before I even started with them. I now want to go and do some flying in Africa - maybe ferry medical supplies around etc.. As much advice as possible would be appreciatd including any relevant E-mail addresses. I have a JAA Frozen ATPL and 210Hrs, 30Hrs on PA34 and 30Hrs on FNPT2 sim.
Thank you for any help/advice given!

Ditto, ditto ditto.

Maybe we can share a cab to the airport?

I have worked in Africa freelancing for several orgs. To get a job you've got to be there and even then there's no guarantee. Some countires don't like frozen Atpls or CPL and make you re-do your exams. Rumour has it that you also have to bribe the right guy the right money to pass. No one guarantees a job before you've got you licence.

My atpl is still frozen after 10 years so I'm back in UK to avert credit card meltdown.

Be warned, no where is easy.
