Cpt Hamna Sheeda, Simba Kali, I don't think Gusto had anything really to do with A. He is very good friend with her husband and her and I guess, decided to defend them , as well as the Greek, on this thread where some of us have a different opinion about them.
I don't think he is trying to attack any one here, just trying to help his friends.
Although I disagree with him on some things, I think he's just voicing his own opinion and not trying to convince anyone. It would be hard to convince some here, anyway.

406 I do not really care of what other people think of me , I am myself and will remain myself , fortunately in life peolpe have different views , friends , ideas , interests , etc ....

No offence taken Gusto, I know JP I saw him come to TZ and saw him leave again to Gabon. I don't think he thanks his Gulf Air job to Mama Kelele or the Greek God (as we used to call them). Next time when you are in Dar go to the restaurant upstairs, eat some greasy chips and talk to the local guys how things are. Maybe you get a different opinion on Coastal.
Anyway to all you guys enjoy the TZ flying and happy landings.

PS who is the 206 jockey who tackled the twiga at Kiba?

Shenzi rubani,
Do you think "savior" Gusto's comments will change Coastal's rap sheet...I guess not!! Just because of being "good friends" with the Greek god and Anna doesn't mean he has to sugarcoat the dirty deeds. Hell....am I good friends with Anna too.
Thing is , kuwasiliana kuhusu hali ya kazi ni jambo muhimu sana..

SIMBA KALI, kweli umemaliza chupa ya Tabasco ou nini!! 
Nakubaliana na wewe na kila mtu hapa anajua kwamba ile shenzi Giriki na A hawaheshimiki TZ. Sipendi wanavyofanya kazi, lakini naelewa Gusto anawalinda rafiki zake, which is normal. Nakubaliana na wewe ni muhimu kusema ukweli ili kuwasaidia marubani zote hapa.
Lakini, Gusto is a friend and I respect his opinion and the fact that he is sticking to it. We can all have opposite opinions on thing, as long as we respect each other and don't try to scr@w eahc other, it is ok to disagree. Si ndio

Sorry for you Due, but don't worry, you'll find something better, for sure. No, of course they don't care, they only neeed to find some desesperate hungry slave who can do 12 hrs a day, every day of the week, every week of the month. Ha yes, they would give you a day off every month, they're quite kind.
Pole sana Bwana, lakini usijali, utapata kazi. baado kidogo!

2 DOWN...COUNTLESS TO GO
Hi Fella Ricardo,
In the Africa plains, there needs one who has alot of humility and patience. Welcome to Mother Africa, ain't nothing too easy down there. But good luck in the black continent, don't give up. Thought of crossing over into Kenya ? Good flying, nice chics, beers and lots of fun.
Hey shenzi rubani,
I just burnt my guts on on that tobasco sauce, I need to be hunting down any mexican on site. Any way, all these texas tomales are up for grabs. Take care.

SIMBA KALI,
I am just curious, Are you presently in Kenya, or have you been in the past few years involved with flying?
I doubt Riccardo Volante will have an easier time in Kenya. Especially when he walks to the KCAA an has to deal with the licensing personnel. They tend to see the devil in foreigners, people who need to be stopped at all cost. Black, white, brown, green or a mixture of all those doesn't make a difference. In fact... Even those born in Nairobi, with big families in Nairobi and Kirinyaga, who speak Kikuyu and are named Kamau or Njoroge, have problems if they happened to stay abroad for a number of years and came back with say an American passport. After holding a whole conversation in the language, they would tell you as a forigner they can't help you

Rennaisance , yes am a kenyan but not back there yet. I have been in and out a couple of times every year and know exactly wat you are talking about. ...give those fat cats of KCAA $$$ and the doors will open so wide open, thats the way it works down there when you slp them with FAA documents. N-way, countless pilots in kenya have initial FAA training and thats why they are now easying on conversion.....with an ATP, all you do is sit for an Air Law exam and thats it.
For Ricardo, you need someone that you know in Kenya to assist you. There are back doors...eh....alot but arm yourself with some $$$ for them to open.

SIMBA KALI, your people were so upset with that system, that they voted KANU out. They are aslo fed up with the current regime because nothing is being done to end TKK. John Githongo tried and gave up. Why would you advocate it on this forum?
Anyway money is not the point. Generally there is a "we don't want foreigners here" attitude. So even if you paid, got yourself sorted and wanted to enjoy flying with Kenyans young and old, you'd have a hard time.
On a more positive note you are better off coming back with the FAA ATPL. I know cats who spent years trying to convert their FAA CPL's. There have been some firings at the KCAA, so now you can generally trust results are genuine. But some people won't let go of the old system and hit the books. They pull out their wallets instead. I personally doubt anyone who sat for ATP exams in Kenya in the past few years passed genuinely, ie without paying. That being said I am sure many have been failed even if they made the pass mark, so resorted to paying, because no matter how well they knew their stuff they were failed.
The Performance A exams are another example of this.... Anyway I am getting away from the point. Riccardo should be prepared for an interesting time here.
406, when do you head down?
