... and say hi to Heather Stewart from me if you see her! You might also like to try Airkenya - but I think they're after more experienced people. Their Chief Pilot is a nice chap by the name of Dino.

Airspeed

Air Kenya operate Twotter, Shed, F27, DHC7 and they also own Regional Air which operates 737-300. Give it a try. You won't catch fish without putting bait in the water.....

Tor, good on yer mate. If you don't ask the questions you won't get the answer! As for Joblessflyer well,it ain't too difficult to see why he's out of a job. It's his bloody attitude. What's wrong with getting a good job with 250hrs, I say good bloody luck if you can manage it, a bit like winning the lottery. There's no hard and fast rules where you've got to start at the bottom and are only able to fly jets after 20 trillions hours under your belt. Anyways, Tor don't give up and I'm sure your persistence will pay off like so many people before you. Oh! don't forget keep smiling.

See what he posted on july 31.

Doesn't give him the right of a bad attitude with everybody but I understand why is so upset....

Good to see all the bots boys are well!!

Kiwi flyer check your e-mail

What's this rumour about poppy fields it's amazing how rumours travel around the world, ran into someone at the pub and asked the same question.

Was never there, never saw a thing and never did nothing.

Kiwi flyer rumours/stories travel far how's that broken hand, love to hear the full story.

Tor back to the topic remember it's not your hrs that get you the jobs it's your mates and your attitude it's easy to get hrs in a log book but harder to change a bad attitude!!!!!A good attitude goes alot further when looking for work than hours.

Kiwi flyer has got lots of hours but people are still trying to change his attitude and appearence.Skaz I don't know about just yet but if he's flying in bots and shagging kiwi flyer up the **** then his attitude must have got him somewhere yet to find any dirt but it will come.

I recommend Bot's if your keen alot easier to get work permits and the rest of the who har.But stay out of the poppy fields rumours travel far!!!!!!!!!!

Thumbs up

Tor,
I'm not sure if this is what you are after but....
Rossair, south africa have started operating in Europe with b1900's. it may not be a job in Africa but as far as i know. It is 2 months on 1 off. with a EU licence you may have a shot, even with low time. Take a shot and good luck. Dont listen to ol'jobless, low time is better than no time. we all started with 250 hours.. go get em!

Good luck to SpeedJeans. Drop in on Coastal in Dar and try Zanair on Zanzibar too (Carl Salisbury is the boss).

Hey guys, as I recall we all started with low hours, at least I did, and like many of you I did my time in Africa.

Tor, all I can say is the best of luck. No matter what people tell you, aviation is one of those areas,that if you dont know people its very hard to get anywhere fast. Therefore that means that you will have to work hard to find a job.
There are still jobs in Africa, even for the low time pilot. Although a great deal more nationals are getting jobs, which is a good thing! (most of the time!!!!)

Good luck and do what you have to do!!!

Tor, there is nothing wrong with coming onto this site and showing that you have this ability, try Rossair in SA at 27-11-7013500 and I hope that you succeed.
