Hi 727 jetpilot! I hear InterAir is one of the best companies in Africa if not in the Hemisphere... but seriously I'm thinking to quit my job here in Kabul and join them.
I guess maybe see you there...

Interair.... tread with caution
Interair.... tread with caution
Well all i can say is things must have changed.........
As for the best airline in the southern Hemisphere, dont think so!!!
When i worked there, we were always struggling with spares. Maintanence wasn't good in my opinion.
If you dont mind flying overloaded Aircraft and being bullied by the top brass that if you refuse " You will regret your decision" then you will fit right in.
Like i say thing could have changed, can only tell it like it was when i was there.
Good luke

INTER AIR
Well Fluffy
wonder why you left inter air or is it better to say they left you.
Ive worked for Inter Air a very long time and its never been like that. they never force you to go over wieght.
they just tell you to do what the book says.
just that some people dont know how to read.
maybe thats why you left.!!!!!!!
and there planes are in good shape.

Anyone currently working at Interair,
Please help! I need some info about working for Interair. I got a call for FO on the 732. But the base would be out of Benin, not South Africa.
Should I take it? Any advice? Why in Benin and not in South Africa? Thanks in advance. Any info would be highly appreciated.

If you are going for an f/o position i don't think you are gonna be making much money, if any at all. A mate of mine went for the interveiw and what he told me was pretty scary!
He subsequently went elsewhere!

Guys guys guys ! Get a hold of yourselves.
See the light. Inter Air....
FACTS:
-8% salary increase in over 4 years.
-Aircraft under maintained. Fact...
-High staff turnover (tells you about a company)
-Top class South African pilots all left due to working conditions.
-Company now looking abroad for cheap labour/foreign pilots willing to work for food and eat S#%T
-Hotel accomodation provided in Africa is way below standard. Even put into un-hygienic appartments at times.
-Poor crew per diem. When day off away from base, no crew per diems paid and you are on standby for flights.
-Operate to the book...Yeah right "SOP's" ( Supplementary Operating Procedures)
Four engine jock states "worked for inter air for a very long time" What a looser. Probarbly cant get work else where or is too far up the chairmans .... to see the light.
Check out a Google search "David Paul Tokoph" and you will see what you are up against. He may not be doing that anymore but shows the type of man you will be working for. (A Leopard never changes its spots)
I would not recommend this company to anyone other than young aviators going in with low experience to get a rating, build up some "Jet time" and move on. This is no career company...
This website is for like minded crew to be able to communicate with each other and find out about companies so they are not misled.
Put your ego's aside and be honest about inter air.
Its time company's start to treat crew with respect. Lets teach them....

Like I said...
That is not money.
Anybody who works for that should be listed as a "SCAB"
Come and join Nationwide rather. Better money, no flying in Africa exept Livingstone and Lusaka which is fun, and you get to sleep at home every night.
Great bunch of crew. Sexy hosties.
Living in SA is the best. Housing and cars expensive but food and BEER is cheep, and the best . . .
$1500 PLUS $10 per day. . . Haa haa haa, Hee hee hee, Pleeez stop me, it hurts. . . .

South Africa is cheap but to pay a pilot R10k is brainless.
My friends company pays his cleaners R2 500.00 ($400-450)
The guy that repaired my DSTV dish earns R12k per month without over time ... unskilled labour.
Silly .. these oke's are taking the pi$$ out of you guys.

That is an insult!
You can earn nearly $4000 plus $35 a day to fly a B200/b1900 on contract, as F/O. Just because it is a 737? Hope you laughed in their faces!
I remember that one of our F/O's on B200's was ex Interair, and I coundnt under stand when he said he was earing more with us!
Mr DomKopf is making a fool of his self!
Peanuts get you monkeys, plenty of them.
