Mack air and Wilderness Air are in the transition to fully turbine fleets. Wilderness Air has 2 airvans currently, the rest of the piston fleet is gone, so hiring on piston is non existent, but I know Mack Air is still flying their pistons, but are slowly selling them off to other operators in Maun. There are still many piston operators in Maun, Safari Air and Major blue still have Airvans and Caravans for those that wish to progress from piston to turbine. But the requirements now for direct entry Caravan pilots are so low it would make sense to send a CV to Mack Air or Wilderness; if you have 800TT and a rating you're on firm footing. Both companies are expanding their Caravan fleets, I don't think the Kodiak will necessarily go as it is required for a specific use-case.
