CMC Fliying school

skyhawk_heavy

Thanks for your comments. Surely not everyone can train abroad and not every one who train abroad have an automatic surelity for success in aviation. The main reason for Kenyan flying abroad i guess is the facilities and sometimes exposure to difference classes of of Airspaces. But i guess you can also make it in Kenya. Thanks Skyhawk.

Thumbs up Many Thanks!

Hi guys! Just a quick note to say how grateful I am for all your contributions in this forum. Please keep posting and as a result, you'll be helping many others.
My dream is to fly as an airline pilot and still keeping it alive, until it becomes a reality. I'd like to return to Kenya and fly for KQ ( si you jua that kafeeling of rudi-ring nyumbani...LOL!).
Based on what I've heard and now read, KCAA poses a great challenge for pilots trying to get licensed in Kenya, but we have no choice. Can someone expound on this issue in the lines of what amounts are expected, is it just some guy you'll be giving the 'TKK'? or are they several? KQ, what's that I hear about you getting 'connez'(connections)???? I thought they jump for foreign trained pilots???How hard is it to get into KQ?
Anything you feel that can explain those issues better, please let's hear them!

Asante sana!!!!

I thought they jump for foreign trained pilots???
Not true. In fact, the opposite - I've tried for a couple of years to get into KQ, despite command time on a 737 and heavy-jet experience, despite knowing about half a dozen of KQ-pilots. If you're not Kenyan, KALPA will prevent you from being hired. End of story.
I'm in the middle east now, so I no longer care about it. But I doubt things have changed during the past two or three years.


How hard is it to get into KQ?
Well, you're Kenyan, so you should know how it goes... know someone important who can get you in. Otherwise, no chance.

Nightfire niaje?
Many thanks for your responses to my queries! It actually makes it seem like flying for KQ is just a dream no matter what. i.e hata hizo connections make it a bogus affair- aiiii haya mambo ya ufisadi jo!
Anyway, on a brighter note, can you please share your thoughts about flying in the Middle East, advantages na any disadvantages? You sound like you don't care for flying for KQ anymore as they have highly ignored you and your wealth of credentials( their loss), so is it better to fly for the M/Eastern airlines? And importantly, do they require any knowledge of Arabic? What would make you leave your currnt job for KQ, if anything????
Pole for the invasion, but thanks for the advice!

Asante!
