Looking for Bush flying job in Africa

[sibtainrizvi]

I currently have 1700 hours under my belt, off which 600 on the B737-300. I want to switch to bush flying, as i love adventure. I can just do it right now as i still have the age to experience it. Tried doing a lot of search on the internet, couldnt come across an authentic company..

Bush pilots please assist.

The bush pilots are in the bush so you gotta go to the bush to find them! Good luck finding them online..........:ugh::ugh::ugh:

[sibtainrizvi]

Lol thats exactly my point...where to look for the right bush?

Getting on a flight to Africa would be a good start. You wont find staying home. Go to Botswana and hang aroung. Or apply to Susi...

[sibtainrizvi]

I am just trying to do a little homework before i head out venturing anywhere. I sent in an email to susi, awaiting there reply. Came across a few others as well. Any more suggestion for companies to contact beforehand?

There are 2 very large threads on this board with tons of info about jobs and companies in Namibia as well as Botswana. I'd suggest having a look there

Someone put you into a 737 with only 1,100hrs :suspect:

In Russia it is normal,when you are hired on B737 or A320 with only 150 hours on Antonov-2 or L-410...

[254HEAVY]

Kenya Airways hires direct local pilots with minimum 250hrs to fly their EMB190's.

So what you :suspect: about James331?

Ever heard of a cadetship?

I've also heard and known of perfectly ordinary line captains having to accept, with good grace and accommodation, all the practical liabilities and responsibilities of training captains with sometimes neither the inclination nor the experience to function in such a role that should be commensurate with airline safety.
Back on track though; if it's flying fame, fortune and adventure you want, have a look at and do something to rival the Spirit of Artemis.
