100% agree with South Coast
I do not think going in Kinshasa would be a great Idea..
I repeat if you don't know anybody there, do not even think to find something.
Well to be more clear, you could find something, but forget the payment.
I know people who are still waiting thousands dollars which won't never come.
I speak about people who are captain on Boeing there.
In fact in this country everybody is waiting money from an ex-employer (I am one of them!!!).
You can't imagine what they invent to give you hope, a big smile in front, they even invite you for dinner, but do not trust anybody there!!!
I stayed 3 years there, I have flown for at least 5 differents companies from the King Air to the Boeing, I know most of the people and it is always the same story.!!
As long as they need you everything is beautifull, but who need a F/O without neither experience nor rating!!!
But if you are still decided, I just want to tell good luck.
Stories will start to get your visa (do not attempt to go there without one) and be sure you did the yellow fever vaccination.
Arriving at the airport, HMMM that's another story, and you are still at 40 km from the center with the worst road of the country in between!
Just an Idea, try to get some information of Tanzania, quite country and possiblities to get something without experience.
You would just fly Cessna , but it is already a begenning..
