Peoples I just wanted to comment on the Air Mauritius thing, I was flying for Another ATR operator and went for an interview with Air Mauritius in 2001, got offered the job but was told in the interview that if you are not 'local' you will be pushed aside for them first so may never get on the jet. The pay was about $1600 plus allowances, the accomodation is great but they wanted six months notice or you pay them out and they only do three routes. Those were the facts and although the beach life might have been great I turned it down because of the above reasons and because it is a very small place.
Everyone to their own though so good luck to guys who have interviews.
