Kind of taking offence to that Caufield.
Very few pilots that are flying in the scenics are there for life. They are there to build their hours, and then move on.
Unless there is a gross misjustice going on with the company, and you are not being paid at all, and having unreasonable demands placed upon you (overweight aircraft, unmaintained etc etc) then suck it up and soldier on. You are not going to be there forever.

As for my professionalism? How can you possibly judge that?
In and around the aircraft, it is the job at hand that comes first. Nothing else. I've always seen it that way.

Gwidery, I've just got the basic vaccinations, I'm taking a few tablets with me, but thats just more for when Im up around Tanzania, not Botswana.
I'm taking a tent with me, there is a camp ground that I can't recall off of the top of my head, meant to be cheap.

Can anyone suggest modes of transport around Southern Africa? How safe are the buses in regards to personal safety? (dont care about comfort!)
Any Taxi services to avoid? Places to avoid around Maun?
Any help with that sort of information would be greatly appreciated.
