Guys, He is talking about small aeroplanes, I sometimes wonder how some of you read a TAF if you can't read a post properly.
You will not get a job in Bots, Namibia or any other Southern African country if you are a low time guy and not rated on the equipment they fly. Paying for these ratings is completely acceptable and is the only way you will get in there. They will not give you a signed contract before you are rated, in fact they will not give you one unless you are there in person and rated.
Benjaavpilot, I applaud you if you are going the African route, it is the best experience you will ever have, and you will certainly never forget it when you are sitting in your shinny Boeing one day!!
