I agree with some aspects of what KB14 is saying.
We must ensure some ways of keeping young pilots coming into the market for a career.
The operators are too eager to take outside pilots and are forgetting our local guys. Everybody always say you must get x-amount of hours but nobody gives you the oppertunity to get those hours.
Young pilots with 300hrs and less are left behind with no oppertunity. The companies must ensure that there is a constant flow of young pilots coming into aviation.
The pay in Africa dropped quite a bit in the last few years. Some pilots are flying for a 1000 USD/month. With that money they must survive and pay their license back.
KB 14 :What is your company doing for young pilots?
Hopefully somebody will start a program where these youngsters can be helped.
