Thanks BAKELA and juba
here is the predicament I am in. I am from Kenya and currently live in Canada. As we all know the Aviation industry in North America has been hit hard, all over the world for that matter. I now find myself in a position with no progressive future at the moment. The industry out here is on the down slope. So I am contemplating returning to the homeland (Kenya) to finally settle for good. To be honest, I have had it with the current state of the industry in North America which inturn has affected my career by bringing it to a stand still. I now feel I should have stayed in Kenya and worked my way up in due time. I use to be an instructor in the States where I trained many Kenyans who have now made it to KQ. They find their careers on the upswing, mine on the other hand is on a standstill. I have experience on the Dash 7, so here I am thinking hard about going back. Air Kenya has Dash 7's but then again, are they hiring? I have sent a couple of resumes and tried to contact Mr. Dino Bisletti of Air Kenya, but that proved to no avail so far.
Getting my Kenyan CPL renewed is the objective and then try to find a job right away. But I have only 2 weeks to try to get all this done. So how many of you think I can get much accomplished in Kenya in a short period of time, especially that now they are revamping the old DCA to the new CAA. Does anybody have the contact info for Gladyis at DCA??. Maybe she might be able to offer a realistic time frame to get something done.
The other issue would be, Are they any jobs in Kenya right now, and if they are, where?..
Question and more questions is all I have, so If anybody can help, I shall appreciate it. Maybe I will be chatting about this post over a pint of tusker with one of you when I finally make the much needed move... KQ would be my dream fulfilled. I just don't know if this trip would do me any good at the moment.. any suggestions?......
