Well, where do I start.
Uganda has had its fair share of airlines start up and fold within six months to a year. AfricaOne, East African Airlines, Victoria International....and the list goes on. I sure hope that whoever is masterminding this operation has done their homework and is serious about it.
Other than that, Uganda is your typical African country...poverty, bad infrastructure and the like. But on the flipside, you will never find friendlier people than Ugandans.
I say go for it, but then again how sure are you the job will still be available once you have 1500TT. As a pilot, you will get the utmost respect and the cost of living is really low which translates into huge savings if you are serious about it all. Of course the above is dependant upon how much you will make. Oh by the way, Uganda is known to have the most beautiful women in Africa. Good luck!
