Those options still do exist indeed. But they won't come easy.
Newpilot, do us all a favor and stop whining. No one forced you into this.
If you have 450 hours under your belt, as you claim, look up that Africa opportunity that was recently advertised on LPJ.com. They're asking for 400 hours. Unless you haven't done so already, which I would think and hope you have, sit down, produce a one-page, no typo CV with a presentable passport size picture, and drop them your CV.
With all due respect, to someone looking for a job I shouldn't have to point out this opportunity. You should have been in for the run well before they went public.
Good luck.
