Captain Koki's no rookie she's been around the block. Used to fly us Paris route... coming to chat with us while on autopilot. A cool chic. Pilots will be redundant soon, it's a boring monotonous job, a mere driver on air,  where's the prestige there? Coxswains have way more fun and adventure.

Almost joined this profession but made  my calculations and decided it was NOT going to be easy to secure a job ..I would be the mercy of corrupt kenya airways ..6 Kenyans I know who went to school to be pilots only 2 suceeded.. one had a full scholarship and was able to be trained at an elite school in Florida for his commercial licence..the other had a god father in kq and so he was hired with only 300 hours under his belt..that the reason why I would never board kq. Their is a higher chance of being piloted by a half baked pilot. The other is my buddy owned a company that had contract to ferry kq employees from jkia to their homes. Most of the hostesses and pilots had a serious problem with alcohol. May be things changed with partnership with klm
