Cool SenecaSoarer

First of all well done on getting selected by BA in the first place and completing the training.

In the current climate we should all be grateful for what we have and therefore I was very disappointed to read some of the replies in your original post.

Anyway if you are interested in bushflying then there are a couple of options worth looking at...

Botswana - there are a lot of operators, flying tourists into the Okavango Delta, based in a place called Maun. They will consider you with 200 hours but you will need to be there and get yourself known to them.

Then there are a few companies, mostly from South Africa, that operate on contract to the UN, Red Cross, and similar organisations, in places all over Africa.
Try Ross Air, King Air Services or Solenta Air, all based at Lanseria Airport, Johannesburg and Federal Air and Balmoral, based at Virginia Airport, Durban.

I hope that is of some use. Good luck in whatever you decide to do and hang in there ! It really is the best job in the world.......cheers Dutchie
