How is that movement? Botswana / Namibia

So I'm assuming the government restrictions on ex pat pilot hours largely flow in waves, until such time as there are few locally trained pilots to fill positions.

Given the cost, time to train locals and the volume of companies in a place like Maun for example, surely the need for pilots will resume?

With Wilderness Air requiring 800TT for CPL pilots, I expect only a steady supply of pilots in that experience bracket, along with a healthy number of locally trained pilots could keep those pilot seats warm?

Any forecast on the likelihood of those hourly requirements returning to the levels seen 3 years ago? I suppose there is a precedent for this...

Really enjoy reading this thread. Any thoughts would be great
