Sadly I have to agree with the general sentiment expressed here. Link used to be a GREAT place to work about 10 yrs ago. It all went pear shaped when Management decided to go to war with the Pilots. Management got there noses rubbed in it rather badly. The Pilots also lost focus and even after winning the battles, ended up losing the war. It just left both sides generally unhappy.

Can't speak for conditions now, but if they can't get local pilots to sign up for their circus, it says a lot.

As somebody who used to live in SA, but still visits often. SA is still the wild west. Don't let anybody tell you that JNB is worse than others. I was the victim of an attempted Hi jacking outside Cape Town airport in November last yr.

The thing that will kill you is the weak rand and the taxation. With the ZAR at R10/USD they simply can't pay you enough. Also tax in SA is crazy, expect 35%.
