HOLY THREAD RESURECTION BATMAN!
How come this thread died???
What can I say? Cathay Brat certainly paints a romantic picture!
Personally if I wanted to fly commercially, bush flying would be the only thing I would be interested in now.
Like a lot of wannabes I don't have a lot of money and BAs FPP seemed like the only way in, until I called them and they confirmed I was too thick to apply! (No A levels or degree...)
However, I am learning to fly and am in the middle of doing my PPL and I've got to say I love it! I know airline pilots and work on airliners myself; I really can't get over how it isn't what I expected. I want hands on adventure and romance!
So to all those bush pilots, tell me all the stories of what it's like out there in the jungle, how you acquired your licenses and how much fun it is!
I need more enticing! Oh, and money I guess...

PPRuNe Handmaiden
Starchaser, we've done this a couple of times. Try a search :)
If you don't like the PPRuNe search, use Google.
site:pprune.org and then the search query.
It works better than the PPRuNe search engine.

For bush jobs, best to go knock on doors, u will never get hired from a emailed cv. If you can't figure out how to get a list of operators, u stand little chance.

Congo!!
Hi, I was recently in the DRC for a year. Take some wild guesses why it was only a year. It was awesome flying and I went out there with only 300 hours or something like that. I was with these guys doing voluntary work: Start Page Based in America and I'm British. I have several videos of some of my flying too.
There are more on my channel too. Inbox me on youtube or reply here with any questions. Cheers.
