In my opinion some of the companies, not all but some, have no problems to employ pilots with more than 1000hrs TT, this is because in the last 8 months a good number of pilots left Maun before the end of the 2yrs contracts, and some companies are getting tired of young pilots that do not give a xxxx of the signature they put under a contract...luckily around the world some things are moving and a good number of pilots are needed, but in Maun the companies cannot spent months to trained and to follow up with all the caab and labour department crap and after few months have the pilots says goodbye...
Regarding the 500hrs, what PIP wrote is almost right, there is by the way another issue behind it...there is now a flying school in Gabs who is busy training local pilot for the CPL...you see what I mean???
