You'll be able to survive on it, but that's about it.

From my experience, many of the locals in Windhoek (Nam) drive late model cars, quite a few higher end makes, the pilots drive POSs or carpooled.

The companies figure you're there because you can't get a job back "home", and have never worked in the aviation industry before, the pay reflects this.

It's still a great place for low time 250-500hr pilots to go and break into the industry, but don't think you're going to be living large (or even medium lol) over there.
