A choice between turbo props and jets?
Unheard of in Africa. Here we have to start as a instructor or work for a charter company starting in C206 working our way up to C208, a process that takes over 2 years, after that the natural step is to fly contract in North and Western africa, starting of on a C208 and after you got your ATPL's they wil put you on a B1900D if you are lucky or a B200. After flying that for about 2 years you can only think of getting a job on a airline.
I am currently working for a charter company, we fly into bush strips. I can tell you one thing, every day is a learning experience. I only really learned to fly here. I learned to make my own decisions based on my experience and theoretical knowledge. Every our i put in my logbook is hands on flying and i know that one day this will help me. I am 28years old and having the time of
my life.
