Hello! some months ago I created this website with overall general info about Botswana, but I would like to get also info of Namibia es it's also on the list of the trip, and hope the web will help others also!

Hey everybody!

I'm considering going for a jobhunt in Namibia and neighboring countries. Any sense doing so with mere 235 TT?

Thanks.

[SeaBriese]

For those that have recently made the journey to Windhoek and have read all the previous posts on this and other threads; how well did the information you gathered here prepare you for your job hunting experience?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Happy landings!

who is there right now?

Hi,

Is anybody on this thread in Windhoek right now? What is up out there anyway? Anybody flying? Anybody hiring?

Anybody hiring expats?

I'd almost bought the ticket, when i got word that nobody hires expats in Namibia anymore these days. What was true two years ago does not work anymore. Can anybody comment on this?

Botswana & namibie

Hi guys. Starting comm soon. Plan is on leaving next year this time for namibie. How are things looking over there this year job wise?

[creaze]

Have at least $3000 ready for type rating etc, when you come here. And plenty of patience.

All in all, if you can possibly find strength to not become commercial pilot, avoid this profession. We are sooooo abundant.

[SeaBriese]

Creaze,
Are you in Namibia now? Let us know about your experience.

[creaze]

Sea Briese, it's very quiet. Overall, what has already been discussed in this thread, still applies. The only weird thing i encountered were two guys that worked for different companies here for about 3/4 of a year and only managed to make 120h over this period. None of them did even reach 500TT. They left the country days ago.

[darkroomsource]

9 months, 120 hours? I think we all know which company that was, and it's been that way for years. And it's stated elsewhere, so nothing new.

[Des.Vaisselles]

Sea Brieze are you still around, did you get hired?

[Des.Vaisselles]

Talk about fresh news...,

To be honnest I do not think the journalist knew much about aviation...
It might come from a good intention to accually point out some bad aviation sides in this country but it sure ends up looking like they just want to sell papers...

Hi
Just arrived in Windhoek today with my girl,planing to travel a bit and eventually do some bush flying, any recommendations were to meet some fresh pilots or even pilots working here already?
I will start doing my rounds this days,are there any company's hiring?

Cheers

Any companies,?? Well man you need hours now in this day and age , even Africa min 700 hours total time required to get visa anywhere in Africa sorry for bad news

[3wickets]

Was in Windhoek , this time last year....2 buddies got work with ~ 220hrs or so...They will take you , however Botswana wont have anything to do with you below 500hrs.
