Jobs in Africa (2011 onwards) part 3.

[where ever what ever]

I change from Project Management to Flying quite late on in life and now sometimes I find myself thinking about how different life is.

If I now had to sit in a line of slow moving car heading for an office, doing a job to pay the bills ... well, Im not sure I could

Positive bits... of older pilot in my experience .. Owners like us because we respect aircraft. Passengers like us because it makes them feel safe. Younger fellow pilots like us because we bring stability to a group of pilots on contract away from home

Negative bits... Learning new systems and technologies is not easy as we get older. dealing with a 7 hour day in 45 degree heat is exhausting and turning down those invites to party at a club until 4 am with the crew on the weekend off is tricky too

That said ,,, I love contract life even if I'm surrounded by lads young enough to be my kids and sometime have them as PIC too

My advice ,,, if flying is your passion ,,, then fly .. whatever it takes

It always boggles my mind when people post their hours on this forum, looking for work, using 'text speak'. Even if English isn't your first language, at the bare minimum capitalise the first letter of your sentence and use 'you' not 'u'.

It all ends up rather like this?
1000 TT
PIC در حدود 150 ساعت
من CPL / IR / AFI نگه از ایران
پرواز با c172، p92js،
من برای پرواز آماده در هر time.anywhere ..

[CAPSLOCK.1]

Pretty much, except 250TT

[White Knight]

Anything for me?

I doubt if you would hack it now although I hear you still fly like a bush pilot

b190/be20 openings

Hi guys,

I am new here and heard this is a very good forum to network.

Well I am rated on both b190 and be20 with just over 1300hrs and have been trying to get a right hand seat job on any of these two aircrafts but not getting many responses. Any advice from experienced guys out there about how to go around to get better chances of being considered by companies or who might be hiring now or in the near future.

For precision I have a south African frozen atpl.

Thanks beforehand for any constructive feedback.

Safe landings.

Company suggestions?

I've been tossing around the idea of spending a year or two working in Africa. I have about 1500hrs TT with minimal (40ish) hrs multi, and an expired IFR. Thinking/hoping of finding some caravan time or getting on as an FO on something multi. I'm totally new to this website and to African aviation. Can anyone suggest companies to look into? I'm Canadian so another option would be Canadian based companies that operate in Africa.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Try Arik Air Nigeria......good rotation and late salaries but they have bombadier and 737 NG.....good place to use as a launch pad for your career. Fast track your application by sending direct to chief pilot or fleet manager...
