2 year break
Hi!
I´m going to quit my job by mid 2007 and take 2 years off to do some extensive travelling. During that time I won´t be renewing my licence.
My question is: Will I find a flying job after such a long break after having revalidated my licence?
At present I´m working in europe and have about 4000 hours of which 3000 are FO on F100s and 500 PIC on DH8-300/400. By the time I leave here I should have about 1500 hours PIC time. I have no intention of returning to europe because I would really like to return home to SA. That´s the reason why I´ve posted my message in this forum. I should be about 38 years old when I return. Unfortunately my SA licence lapsed about 5 years ago and is therefore dead and buried. I currently hold a JAA ATPL.
Anybody done something similar? Will I have to live the life of a travelling shoebrush salesman after my return to SA???
