" ...And lastly the reason a majority of pilots take up flying as a career - its not because they are passionate about flying, and spend all their days dreaming of being in the air, watching birds fly and wind effects etc. No, its often seen as a career that gets you out of Africa, paid opportunities to settle in the West, supply families and relatives with Western goods etc.. "

Whao! damn, now I see why so many Kenyan airways, SAA, Ethiopian airlines, air mauritious, air namibia...ect pilots are leaving in mass for the west. They will at last be able to supply their families with western goods and stuffs......I just didn't know man.....
