Hi trekker,

I've been in Mali for three months now flying a tcheck a/c LET410

I do hope that my hours are valuable eventhough I'm flying without a type rating.

Anyway I think that flying here mostly with GPS and doing visual approaches is better than sitting at home.

At least for the first time in my life I'm been paid to fly (700pounds), isn't it what we want? To fly and be paid?

I did not have much choice as this is the only job I came accross in one year, I only had 400h.

The only way to get a job is to knock on doors or have connection.I've heard of a guy in Accra getting a job showing up.

The biggest problem is that Africa is expensive.
Expensive hotels, expensive airfares.

I almost got a job in Abidjan knoking on doors, and got that job here thru connection,complicated connection I should say.

Good luck to you.
