OK, I'll come clean, I would like some stats behind an article I'm doing on training but getting stats to back my argument for African Aviation is proving difficult!!! I've been down the 'usual' roads in terms of aviation organisations but nothing's forthcoming, stats are elusive but I thought someone on here might know something more!
For the average man on the street in Africa, it's difficult to get aviation training without a lot of money in his back pocket/family. There's little/no sponsorship to become trained and few training centres ...
Once trained, if he's offered 10,000US elsewhere, then he'll probably leave home & his job of 4,500US (pilots I'm thinking about at the moment, but it's similar financial ratios with ATC's too)
Any help, very gratefully received - I'd like to see Africa move forward!
