Hi everyone,
I'm getting a lot of PMs with people asking questions along the same lines so I'll post some answers here... I'm sure that I'm repeating myself in a few places
Q: Are companies hiring right now?
A: I'm guessing that 2009 was a slow year and that it will pick up in 2010. See above posts for previous high season times... I left Namibia nearly 2 years ago, but I've just emailed a mate who still lives there for a more accurate answer. Stay tuned.
Q: Is it possible to get hired with just a CPL and 200-250hrs?
A: YES! These are low hour jobs and a couple of hours on a 210 will help, but are not essential. It is more the norm rather than the exception to get hired with less than 300 hrs.
Q: I'm quite an old geezer, does age matter for employment?
A: Short answer is no. Most of the guys/gals were young in their early/mid twenties but there were the odd exceptions. The companies don't care about your age as long as you get the job done safely and perform well.
Can't think of anything else right now, Will talk later...
Happy Landings!
