I have just graduated with my brand new shiny CPL & Multi IR, with approx 250 hours & I am now looking for a job in this chaotic industry.

I have ruled out airlines already as the downturn has resulted in far too many qualified pilots with vast amounts of hours trying for these. I have booked myself on a FI course but nobody seems to be looking for instructors at the moment either.

I am wondering whether anyone has any ideas of where I can head off to to find work. I'm young & free & have no ties so its the perfect chance to leave the dreary UK to find pastures new.

If anyone has any info on bush flying, pleasure flying, air taxi or air photography organisations it would be greatly appreciated?!

Thanks

Jamie

Dont rule out anything jamie, in this bussiness you just never know, uou might be lucky. Still blitz all the usuall suspects with a CV, most likely nothing will come out of it, but something might. What part of Africa are you interested in? Might be able to help
