Is it not possible that OneDay21 knows someone who has told him that when he has a licence, they will buy a Citation X for him to fly?
These sorts of things happen a lot in South Africa where nepotism is still often the only way up in certain political not correct circumstances. So yeah, perhaps he should have made the different phrase a little with the XXX but no green flashes in the eyeballs please?
What is so wrong with stalking anyway?

Always someone that has to put someone else down..if you wanna fly a Citation X then so be it..at least U have a vision and a goal you working towards..as for the jobs..go to flightinternational.com and go the job link and you will c that even in this depressing time there is lots of jobs available..and on the same website you just have to read through some of the stuff to c that many airlines are ordering new acft and what they are actually ordering..and not just a few in Asia..Hammer sits in Bahamas and has alot to say bout SA..proppilot not much further than U and he wants to fly Citation 1 or GV etc but he has lots to say..

Not sure if this is my English but does that above make sense?
Anyway Malagant - do not kidnap my thoughts or words as you kidnap Guinevere.
Where Hammer lives is Hammer;s problem. Where Hammer's illustrious arse is at the moment is Johannesburg. Hammer has a right to have a lot to say about SA. There is one thing for sure which is that Hammer is more of a South African than you are ever very wahrschei likely to be..Even what language Hammer speaks is his problem.But at least I write without using those infantile abbreviations. I do not put any dreams down nor do I put people down except perhaps in this one particular circumstance...always someone that has to put someone else down? you say..and then at once go and try to do that....Go back to your impenatrable castle please.
(Big wink of course)(and stick tongue out also)

Malagant always has a lot to say also... join the Kindergarten. Then I guess you should give the youngsters some of your advice. I am sure they will apprechiate it. You make it sound so very easy and that these jobs are up for grabs for people with 200hr comms. And what about green cards and workpermits and stuff like that and what about licence requirements? Yeah dude it's no problem at all! Easy as pie, you just have to dream, that it is only you that they have been waiting for, to push those throttles all the way forward !

I do not know what is so far fetched, when I say, stay focussed on what you are doing in the present taking step for step, so that your goals of the future come within reach instead of distracting your mind with stuff that is still quite far away. It will all come with time and has nothing to do with getting someone down. But it seems some people in this forum take themselves very seriously and act like mimosas if only the slightest thing that does not suit their reality is said.

You gotta love dat Mimosa, the flower not the cocktail.
One finds it in Bengal. They call it llajabati and in Bengalesey that means the shy female, possibly a virgin but anyway, very on the button.
It was the dream to fly the C130 with a crew of females, no shrinking violets, the cargo of Morgan Spiced Rum and some boxes of Davidoff 3000s.
But yes, in Africa the permits and the cards are a big problem just like in the USA only here there is another compexion to the deals. Just because we are a bunch of primitives down here does not mean that we do not know how to make life difficult. But on my part please I must wish all the best of luck. Solenta on the first page #2 says it all for Africa flying and I think that he should know what he talks about somehow.....

Typical..just reading your replies and some of your other post`s confirms your absolute superior knowledge of all subjects aviation related, and all else for that matter.

Put me down but just add some info at the same time..

Sorry just got back from flying the citation x on Microsoft sim..

Have dual citizen for SA and Britain, understand that there is alot more to it than just a passport, licenses,experience,ect..
For a low time pilot what would you need to fly in europe firstly(licenses ect..)?
Are there better oppurtunities in europe than in Africa?

Any help would be appreciative.
