Skysign,

I worked for them from May 2008 to May 2009, then another 3 month contract from Dec 2009 to Feb 2010.

See my other post, essentially answering Fuzzy's rant, as far as if it's "that bad". I don't agree with his assessment, and wonder where he got his info.

Captain pay starts at $5000/month US. Housing and a vehicle are provided. Tickets to/from home at beginning and end of contract, and a vacation allowance (depending on length of contract). Vacation is 1 month for a 1 year (actually 13 month) contract, or correspondingly less for shorter. If you are not SA licensed, 1 year contract is minimum for getting the validation in Jo'burg. Type rating is preferred... but several guys have been sent to get it in Colorado. I had mine already, but needed the validation.

Not sure if they're hiring... there is turnover from time to time... most guys stay for a year or 18 months, then move on.

Hope that helps.

Bill
