I draw your attention to the title:
Zambia requires 1000 hours even for a 172 job
How many singles in Zambia? Not that many. A few Caravans, but those are crewed by guys with 1000+. Zamfari? Gone. And they used 152/172 primarily for training. Staravia? Yes, a 210. How many twins? Most of the charter fleet in Zambia. Relevance is a bitch, right?

What suggestion? You'll see I've not edited any of my posts, not changed anything. Post up whatever 'suggestion' I've made.

Where do I say that? And frankly, I don't have any pedagogic experience on which to base that opinion. Seems to have worked well for years though via the company sponsorship system? Maybe the RHS of a Caravan is a good place to learn the myriad of tasks required of a charter pilot. It's not purely stick and rudder - that's one part of the operation.
I don't really understand why you insist on making so many assumptions to validate your posts. Can you explain?
