Things are turning in Africa
WWW,
It may be doom and gloom in Europe but down here in South Africa our mainline carrier, SAA, is predicting growing from around the current level of 750 pilots to around 1000 by the end of 2011. Mango, their low-cost sister, is also predicting growth and SA Express, the feeder for SAA, is looking for at least 60 additional pilots due to expansion plans. Kenya Airways just advertised for another cadet batch.
Yes, these are positions for pilots with experience, but it means that there will be around 300 to 400 positions opening up for commuter airline FO's, flight instructors, charter and contract pilots when the airlines hire the current occupants of these positions.
Cheers
