2000TT Revolution in Namibia

Last week Home Affairs implemented a new rule for foreign pilots: No more visas for pilots with less than 2000 hours.

This new measure means that aprox 80% or 90% of the small operators pilots should leave the country. Some of us are already grounded and the rest will be in the same situation as soon their visas expire.

Apparently AOPA Namibia had a meeting with the ministry yesterday, but is gonna be a looong discussion, cause the only they got was a new appointment for the end of the next week.

Don't you think 2000TT is way too much to fly a C210 for 8000R?
No one with that experience is gonna come here!!!

And of course, the locals are thinking in jumping to Air Namibia directly!



Any info will be appreciated!
