Are there companies in East Africa hiring expat low time pilots? I read in the forum, Kenya is nearly impossible. Any other places that I should try my luck?
Hi there!
Where did you train? Which License do you possess? I understand that License conversion can be hectic, especially if you were trained using modern and newer planes and simulators. Though, I believe this will be to your advantage.
Kenya is competitive, as there are plenty of flight schools here, I tend to think so.
Today, I flew in a Dash Q400 from Lamu to Nairobi, and on the controls was a first officer who told me hes been working in the same company, now as a senior first officer, for 7 years! That tells a lot.
