There are still a few jobs in town but also the same number of guys waiting that have been there since Jan.

The fuel shortage didnt help this year and so some guys have run out of time and had to leave but made good impressions with the operators so the door is open to come back later in the year when it is rumoured other positions will come up.

A good point made above is the time in the 206, to convert to a bots licence you must have completed 5 hours of training, including the flight test.

Although I did mine in the 172 and will do the 206 rating during my training with my company.

but it is worth taking enough cash to look at passing the law exams, 206 tech and flight test yourself, there is a training school in Maun now and it can be done, you cant actually apply for the licence without a job offer but it shows your commitment and helps the operator to get you through the process that much easier.
