For those that wanted some info.. .. .I'm 30 with 330hrs. Last year I spent 3 months travelling to South Africa, Zambia and Botswana. lokking for a job. Basically I knocked on doors. I already had some leads from friends who had flown there before.. .. .If you want a job in Africa, then you can send all the CVs out there that you want but you'll only be wasting your time and postage. You need to go out there, meet the operators, get to know them, ask to go on flights with them etc. . .. .It also helps if you have some time on the aircraft they fly. In my case a C206. I got some hours on that last year in Botswana, then when I returned to the UK, those hours allowed me to fly for a local skydive club(www.skydivestrathallan.co.uk), I flew there everyother weekend. You don't get paid, but its free hours and good fun. These hours then put me in a good position this year, to get the job in Zambia.. .. .I should also say that I had a friend who put in a good word for me, and with out that it would have been a lot more difficult.. .. .THe bottom line is really to get up off your bum and visit the places you want to fly in. . .. .For those looking for a job in Southern Africa this season. The unfortunate message is that you are probably to late now. You need to be contacting the people from Jan, as most hiring will have been completed by Mid March, early April.. .. .I wish you all good luck.. .. .JF. . . . <small>[ 30 March 2002, 09:34: Message edited by: Jockflyer ]</small>
