Greetings all.
Passed my multi-IFR ride two days ago (you all know how good that feels!), and had my heart set on dragging my new rating and my logbook's 400 hours to Arusha or Dar for that oh-so-sweet first job driving a piece of tin.
But before I commit to jumping on a plane, and then bringing out my wife and kids, wondered if I could get a fresh perspective on the ground for what the pilot demand is like, at the mo. Worried that the recent high fuel prices and sub-prime mortgage meltdown in the U.S. and Europe has eaten/will eat into the safari trade and hence the aviating.
Think there are still entry-level jobs to be had in Tanzania?
Best, and thanks, everyone, in advance.

I would think it might be easier to check out Maun or Gaborone in Botswana than heading to Tanzania. There are more jobs for low time pilots out there. This is word of mouth though. Someone else might be a bit more useful as far as recent info is concerned. Good luck
