Getting your facts straight

A few things to clarify. Being married to a Kenyan thinking that gets you citizenship/passport? Whoever told you that is lying straight into your face. Best you may get is permanent residency. One has to live in Kenya permanently for 7 years before you can even apply. Citizenship? Dream on. I have colleagues here living / working for over 30 years in Kenya and struggled to get their permanent residency, others still have to renew their work permit every 48 month.
Pilot jobs at KQ? Do you actually follow the news? KQ is in so much trouble right now. Senior pilots with thousands of hours on widebody (you have how many, 800)furloughed sitting at home with 50% salary. Their top management is trying their level best (against Labor Court rulings) to reduce the workforce, both flying and ground personal. Massive overhead. And you think you get a seat in any cockpit there no problem coming in as an expat?

Sometimes I wonder....
