Hi Guys, just a quick question. I have more than 3000 hs TT (1200 in C208), I've been working in Tanzania too. I know that there the salary is much better than in Botswana but I was looking for a new place to fly. I know that I have to come there personally. The problem is: do they accept 45 years old pilot ?

My adivce, DONT DO IT!


I was in a position very similar to yours, I found that if you don't fit their mold, ie a low time desperate pilot, you'll have a harder time getting a job than a 200hr wonder.

It's like showing up for a interview at a cheap fast food joint as a formally trained and highly experienced chef, the management just isn't that bright and will think something must be wrong with you, or that you're after their job.

Stay in TZ, or find a job that requires a EXPERIENCED pilot, climb UP that ladder, not down it
