A couple of years back I spent the best part of a day filling out the Air Mauritius application forms and getting together all the required documentation before submitting my application by registered mail. At that stage my total flying time was around 3500 hrs.
After waiting a couple of weeks and hearing nothing, I sent a couple of mails to various contacts in the HR dept. asking if they could simply confirm if they had received my cv - no reply. I was then given a contact email for a Mr Leung by a friend and I sent him an email asking the same thing. Nothing. I then contacted a Captain Mc Gregor - like the others he couldn't afford me the courtesy of a response.
If the HR department at Air Maurtius is indicative of the rest of the airline, then I wouldnt bother applying.
