Did some flying around the country for a while, the extra earning capacity came in handy but it would not be worth it in the long run. Good months could earn 9000 USD as FO. In my opinion the money will never be good enough for the job. You cannot place a price on the risk as the offer will never be good enough to out weigh the risk.
I wouldnt be too concerned with medical aids and loss of license cover, but rather worry about life insurance. If someone knows of a company that will cover you while you are flying in and out of SDA, pls let me know.
Afrikanskies- interesting! ...
