Get me the heck out of here

[107]

Trying to find info on getting the heck out of Dodge City and getting back into Africa or the Middle East ... yes, believe it or not I want to go back. Was out working there with a "nameless" Canadian company for a little while (close to 3 years), and since the industry here is what it is, I'm thinking it's time for a young single guy like me to go back and have some more fun.

That being said, I'm drawing a searching blank, or having a bad day on the net. Anyone have any links, recommendations, info for a 2000 TT, 1000 PIC, 1000 turbine, 1000 Caravan guy?

Thanks a million in advance!

Good luck buddy. Some awesome flying in Africa, I'd like to go back as well.

Thanks guys, but haven't had much luck in pprune.org either. Even put a post in the African Aviation section, no dice so far.

Just can't seem to crack this egg for some odd reason. Anyone got any ideas? A good egg beater?

Yup ... Sent in CVs through contacts on there. No dice. Been reading and searching PPrune for a while too. I'm just hitting a road block or just not searching for the right terms. Anyone out there with some word of mouth recommendations mayhaps? Any former drivers out there with ideas? 208 or otherwise?

Keep it coming guys! Thanks!

Coastal Aviation, Dar Es Salaam. Check them out, Caravans in Tanzania, also a Pilatus, or maybe two now. I ticked off over 70 different airstrips I have landed at while working with them in the last 2 years. They were very nice to me, and I was lucky to be treated so well.

Try, Anna, she is the boss. If your search comes up with no luck for contact info, PM me. That goes for anyone.

Cheers.

PM me if you'd like, I have a really good friend whose spouse is the head of flight attendants for FlyDubai and is one of the CEO's really good friends. Maybe they can do some magic for you without the type rating and time on type, because they are looking for guys to fly for them. Let's not make this an ANTI - DUBAI thread. If you're interested, let me know. All I can do is put you in touch with my friend and then you have to play your cards.

Hope to hear from you !

I found a pretty decent list, including contact details, of Tanzanian operators;

Anybody have ball park figures for pay on the 208 and length of tours. Is $8K and 2 mon in and 1 or 2 out sound feasible?

Thank you! Everyone! AvCanada comes in in fine fashion as usual.

I was out of commission for a few days with a cold, and away from the net, but I'll be in touch with PM shortly!

Hope everyone had a great (sneeze free) weekend!

Anyone find an answer for Lost Lake? I'm curious myself. I was used to the 2 month on 1 month off deal once upon a time, and kinda liked it too. Salaries are also fun to talk about lol.

Thanks again everyone!
