Hi flyafricaworld,
I'm a young aviation enthusiast in Accra. There are a few Ghanaian pilots with CPL MEIR out there who would like to join your airline. The question is, you already have 6 pilots currently in type training, and are launching with only two planes (ERJ145) so is there any room for more pilots at the moment? and how many hours a month on average will a pilot expect to fly.
Also in terms of operating cost, relative the other start-ups (fly540, starbow, antrak, ctk etc.) isnt the ERJ more expensive to operate over shorter routes? I thought they perform better over longer regional routes because they burn less fuel at altitude than the ATR-72... cant say the same for the 4-engine BAE though.
Just curious? could anyone here enlighten me on the decision to use the ERJ145 and would you use larger jets like the 175 or 190 in the future.
Thanks in advance.
