LOL, the good old days...I'm 31. No one ever takes responsibility for this whole P2F thing. It's always an excuse. Like, I have to because others did or blah blah blah. Now, Afrika is a little different than the rest of the world. Operators are sometimes prevented from paying for a foreigners training due to national labour regs and whatnot. But lemme ask you this amigo, do you really appreciate people from all over the world offering their services for free and/or reduced rates on a public forum while you or I may be looking for work as a PROFESSIONAL pilot??? And btw, your "friend" cannot find a job because others before her have effectively forced her to pay for a rating. Once again, take some ownership of the decisions our colleagues have made in their quest to fly bigger and better equipment.
