The most asked Q

I'm a European citizen with a JAA CPL/SE/ME/IR TT450 PIC300h
Have experience in flying in Africa on the C210/206.

And I'm looking for a job, not the big one but something more
in the style of bush-flying or air-taxi.

Also willing to pay for any extra training.

Hoping for some reply because you guys have the best scenery in the world.

just asking the question that's been asked a few times already but no answers as far as i can see. Has anybody actually got a job from posting on this thread? and do people who post on here (from outside of Africa) really think that someone is going to hire them with all the hassels that go along with work permits etc associated with working in Africa with out them making the effort to even come out to Africa? What employer is going to hire someone who's unlikely to stick around and be able to operate in an enviroment that is TOTALY alien to them?

Well, from personal experience, when we needed two pilots a few years ago I sifted through this thread looking for appropriately type-rated guys and emailed or PM'd all of them - the biggest problem was that the great majority of them hadn't updated their details or, most importantly, their contact details.

It's just another line in the job-pond but if you don't have a baited hook in the water you're never going to catch one.

Thanks 4HP

I understand the need for hooks in the water but do think it is a VERY long short especially as a lot of guys very low time. It's difficult enough getting your first job when you live here let alone posting from out side the region. If an employer was going to employ it would be a big gamble in my eyes.

There is no need for those who post here to be so downhearted. Of course it is a long shot but then; what on earth else in aviation is not?
I have been contacted through Pprune pages in connection with a 737 direct command in ZA. It didn't work out but that was due to circumstance.
I think that quite a lot of people read through these pages from time to time.
I would follow the advice just suggested and keep contacts updated. Furthermore; I would be disinclined to treat these pages as an excercise in scribbled uselessness. I would make sure that my short resumé was as succinct and accurate as possible. Speaking from personal experience, at least two of my previous flying jobs have come about because I was at the other end of a telephone when the Chief Pilot called - as he worked his merry way down his list!
