Papazulu

looking for many pilots but life is doomed to be weird
What do you mean? Is there no continuity, dangerous conditions?

Please elaborate as I am planning a trip over in the New Year.

Thanks

PS Chris, I have more hours, so there!

Well...the guy got fed up with flying since he could not get a job in EU.He's there for a short holiday so I might have had the wrong impression (and attitude...) towards the lifestyle of a pilot down there. I don't know much more but today I watched a video on Gabon express folks and I would love to do it...! I am sick of hearing people complaining because the TR didn't get a job or worse. Back to my question. did anyone got a chance by 126.9?


Take care

PZ

YYZ: kind of strange case: same Hrs (+/-), same A/Cs ratings and...same types! Maybe an extra FI rating on my side...

Re: Jobs in Africa

Paul, mate...

Lots of companies in SA looking for rated King Air and 1900 pilots. One has no glamour machines on one's licence, thus one is still knocking on doors...

Talking Re: Jobs in Africa

For those of you looking, there are some posiblities in Tanzania for pilots of various experience. As of late several companies have expanded their fleets. Many local pilots have moved up from the general aviation scence and onto the local airlines leaving a shortage. Most new locally trained pilots have also been absobed directly into the local airlines. And since the international market has been growing again several of the more experienced expats have moved on.

Basicly anyone intrested in coming here would need to show up and convert their liscence, which usually takes about a month. ICAO liscences re easily converted here.

There are jobs for the low time guys with 300-600 hours. They will most likely get jobs on 206 type aircraft. Guys with 600-1200 hours can look for FO jobs on twin otters. They would also be able to get onto 402's and Seneca's. Guys with 1200-2000 hours would be looking at the 402's and 404's. Guys with 1500+ could be looking at C208 jobs.

So a little for everyone, but only the dedicated need apply, it can be a bit of drag getting through all the processes and getting that first interview, you really need to come here and slog it out. Salaries range from Appaling to very resonable and some companies provide housing etc..

Remeber Vans are flown single crew here and the strips are rough, this is why the hours are sometimes higher than down south, Once your out of the major towns your pretty much on your own. So no mama's boy's need apply you'll only run home crying

Anyone intrested in coming out here give me a PM and I'll point you in the right direction. Let me know what your kind of job and life your looking for and what your expectations are and I'll try to point you in right direction.

Good luck all.

You'll find a lot of positions are filled by folks who were put onto something by word of mouth. This way the employers know what's available and on the market. Might not be much but at least it's something more positive than complaining about foreigners stealing jobs on other threads.
