A story about a pilot working in the streets instead of the air.
For the past 14 months, has Covid 19 changed the life of many people and it has forced a lot of huge organizations to let go of many of their workers.
Tatenda (25) is one of those people who's life has been affected by the ongoing pandemic.
Tatenda is a pilot graduated from the CAE flight school in January 2020.
Before the pandemic, Tatenda was an airport worker, working as a ramp agent at the Gardermoen airport.
Beside his work as a ramp agent, Tatenda was applying for pilot jobs at different airlines.
Tatenda lost his job as a ramp agent the same month the first positive case of Covid 19 was founded in Norway which happened in March 2020.
He decided to find himself a new job which led to him working at Posten as a driver and package deliverer.
He delivers between 30 to 60 packages daily.
Every day he gets a new area to deliver packages to, one day at the north, one day at the south, from east to west of Oslo.
Rainy, snowy, sunny or cloudy..
It does not matter
what kind of weather there is
Tatenda is still trying to spend some hours flying when he gets some free time
"somedays I work up to 12 hours a day just to make some extra money, there have been days where I start at 9 am and finish at
10pm."
"When it comes to delivering the last package of the day..it always feels special. cause you know that you are finally done after a long day of work"
