Hello Iver,
here some answers, hope it helps:

- Will Privatair be hiring in the near term? Will all newhires therefore go to the Congo or will there be slots available in Europe?

For my knowledge only a handful FO´s will take the offer to go back to FRA from Congo. That means, they will hire some FO´s for Congo and some for FRA, when and how many no clue. But I guess in the next 3 months.. And to say it again, there is a reason, why only a handful FO´s go back as BZV is not too bad

- Has the fleet changed much? Is Privatair adding/removing airplanes in the near term (excludes the upcoming C-Series order)?
Fleet is for the moment: 3 BBJ2, 1 BBJ1, 2B737-300 and 1B767, 2B757, Guess the B737-300 and B757 fleet will grow
- What are the pilot domiciles (including in the Congo) today? In Europe, do pilots need to live in base or can they commute?
In Europe Pilots can live where they want.

- Do Privatair still operate worldwide ad-hoc charter using the BBJs? Or do they only fly scheduled service now?
Yes, they do

- Lastly, when is the Bombardier C-Series operation expected to start? Any news about that operation - still on track?
No news, 5 Firm orders and 5 Options

Hope that helps a bit ;-)
