Course(s) attended: PPL to COM with Twin IF (Dec 1991-Jun 1992)
Currently works for: SAA. Senior First Officer: B737-800
Had the best 7 months of my life at 43 Air School. After leaving 43, managed to find work after only 2 months, after handing out no fewer than 100 CV's! Initially worked as an a/c loader, and wash boy, but eventually ended up flying. Hit 1000hrs in no time, then did my then Senior Comm, and after flying money around, and some charter work, landed my first decent job on B707's.
Then flew for Phoenix Airways on B727's, and then also B727's for SAFAIR. Got into SAA in 1998 (after my 3rd interview), this time with some decent jet time under my belt. From PPL to SAA took 6 years, quite quick really, but hard work and luck played a huge part.
