well done wakuuu, keep doing it there's one day everything will be ok.

I just don't understand this bullish stance, if true, by most east african countries. Just read this article and been left scratching my head. :ugh:
Fears in Tanzania as Understandably, its a murky topic but I know many expats flying in Kenya commercially. It all sums up nicely to who you know and "kitu kidogo" on the immigration bureaucracy. If you want it bad enough, its possible, though just sitting on a freshly cooked cpl won't get you anything in this part of the world without a little hussle. |
Experience
Most new local pilots have relatively low time, the days of starting with a C172/206 are long gone. Only a few operating.
Almost all operators are using C208, of which for obvious reasons is not for a low timer to command. The thread ''Fear in TZ as...'', seems like the journalist was in self love mode. He is the one who is acting with no skill. :ouch: CRM summarizes it, no finger pointing. |
I love the way the article must explain the meaning of,"two decades". :ugh:
|
any expat???
So, lets get back to the main topic... Is there any foreign pilot has gone through cpl conversion with TCAA in recent time..
|
I know of a couple of expat pilots that have been hired over the past couple of months. Not really fresh cpl, one had 500 hrs tt.
If you have time on a van and +1000tt you will find a job right away. I haven't heard of any expat pilot being hired off a fresh com, but I'm a believer of right place right time! |
What are the chances for someone with 1000+, mostly African bushy hours but zero Caravan?
|
You can get lucky! Bushy hours.....piston time?
But if you land the job it will take a long time to find yourself in the left on the van. I presume that's what everyone seeks here, the caravan, it would help you a great deal if you arrived with a rating. That's a big deal to get the job I reckon and it also means that they will put you on the van almost right away. (obviously depends on the company) If you arrive without a rating the company may keep you on their pistons ,prob 206, for a long while. Not ideal if you thought you where finished flying the 'dream machine'. :ugh: It all depends on the company. They are definitely hiring expats for Caravan positions. |
just another rumour
thnx cptnplanet for your reply. So the news about tanzania/TCAA is just a rumour...
|
