Well heard this crap before and while tenacity is required blind faith is quite another virtue. And quite frankly someone should mention that if you head to Africa you will not be lonely.As in Botswana you will have plenty of company around the pool of the Sedia hotel with all the other morose, demoralised unemployed pilots. All are told just stay around and you "may" get a job.....nice procedure. I mean the people are fine the country interesting but its not much of a procedure, is it?
Then again the whole industry is in the toilet after 9/11. I dunno but seems to me that there are not many opportunities.
And before someone gets all hot and bothered by my comments and starts with the usual drivel about how they had such a tough time when they were a boy.............blah,blah,blah. I think times have changed also.............for the worse.And yes its depressing ..........pass the gun ...........I'll pull the trigger.I eagerly await your feedback,hehehe.
