I found a possible gig in Nepal with a one year contract flying a 206 on geo survey flights. They want somebody asap. I'm definitely considering it. Pay is 2500/month in euros (which is better than the dollar) with a 5000 euro bonus at the completion of contract. PM me if you want details. I'm having a hard time copying it over here.

A buddy of mine from flight school has been doing fixed wing air ambulance flying in Kenya for awhile now...seems to love it. Started out in a 206 and I believe is now flying a Caravan and something else, but I forgot what. It would definitely be one heck of an experience.

Well, you might get more actual time in Nepal than CA. |

Well, it's geo survey, so I'm not sure about that.

Any word on the maintenance of the plane? I am not sure how regulations work in Nepal.

I don't know much. I fired off a resume and we'll see what happens. I have lots of questions if they call.

If I didn't just get a new job, I'd do it. Sounds really interesting to me!

That's what I figured, too. Yeah, I'm applying to airlines and it probably won't help my marketability. But it's not going to hurt it, either. I'm under 30, single, and just couldn't pass up a stab at a once in a lifetime opportunity. Of course, it is a huge step, and it took a little prodding from my good buddy PhotoPilot. We'll see if they call.
