Man!!!
I had hopes about making it in Africa.
You guys collectivly busted that happy bubble building up in me with all these posts about rejected n lenghy visa procedures, the 2000TT requirements, local being preffered and already interviewed, rigged jobs and the government out to flex its muscles, etc, etc, etc.
60 guys already waiting in the arena? thats a big number.
As if my own country isnt corrupt enough.
What does a man have to do to fly huh?
Why is experience given such darn importance? Arent freshers ever to learn? Wont hard work n slogging asses ever count?
What is the world going to do when all these experienced (read OLD) people whither away huh?
Stuck with 263 hrs TT n absoluely no way of taking that number up north.
Had hoped I would be one of the few bold enough to make way till africa, stick it out for a few months, put a few miles on the car n bump my TT upto some respectable 2000 range.
But NO! that 2000 is the basic requirement now right.
Thought the situations BAD, but no!! its ALWAYS WORSE huh?
Its such a messed up state of affairs that I cant even concentrate on venting my frustration here.
I dont need a 3 month vacation there, I need to fly. Its oxygen.
Anyways, I aint a quitter.
This year or next- I am making my wya there and I will stick it out, and I will FLY.
Keep posting people. Need all the information I can get before I take that leap of faith.
