good luck

J C, I did the maun thing and unfortunately for you, the operators do not count time and ratings, it is more a case of "do you get on with the guys and gals there" and as B190 said, 2 or 3 weeks isnt enough, I saw guys staying in a tent there for 6 months and still go home empty handed. A good idea to look into if you want to get your hands dirty is maybe a cojo job on a C208??? the UN requirements have just gone up to 2000hrs total time for a P2 position on a Van, as crazy as that is!!!!!!!!!!!!! the operators of vans are DESPERATE at the moment as there are not too many guys willing to sit in the right seat with that kind of time. I would recomend going to Lanseria, in SA, doing a Van rating and then trying Solenta Aviation, King Air Services, Quella, NAC, Executive Turbine. a van job as cojo should fetch from 1700 US to 2300 $ a month. PM me for more info
