I tried to join the Air Wing as a reservist and got told they didn't need pilots. They suggested I spend my time sitting behind a desk in a charge office picking my nose. Don't think you'll be allowed anywhere near their toys, Mattman. The policy appears to be that pale males aren't welcome (So, what else is new? 
) no matter what your qualifications.

Well, after I heard how crime figures dropped during one holiday season in P-town with a single, or was it two Oryx (plural's a bl1ksem here) and a couple of door-sitters with R4's!
Just imagine what a single draadkar and a 20mm can do for you?
Why do you ask, you're planning what?
(No hard feelings, right? I saw your length and I beat you with about 'n halwe duim!)

So sad yet so true
Oh well just have to terrorize the skies in different part of the world
I was just wondering how they hire and what's there policy on time and experiance, last I heard(a long time ago) they hired a female pilot straight from flight school.
Sad to know all this experiance outside SA is not coming home

Howzit Matt, we not quite yet at the level of winter you shared here with us, snow in the Bamyan and Faiz areas, with the temps down to about -10, but they predict the 1st snow for thursday and friday, temps dropping down to -18........brrrrrr, again
MF, no hard feelings ever, just looking around for something new to do. I did meet a (PPP) pale police pilot a few weeks ago, however I never ask those questions up front. Sounds like quite a lekker job though.

They are definitely following the BEE principle with hiring for the airwing. They recruited a few experienced officers and trained them alongside some who hadn't been sworn in yet. They gave the folks at Port Alfred a few grey hairs (he! he!), but now do ab initio elsewhere. Recruitment is similar to airforce with batteries of aptitude tests et al. Hey that Porter flies LOW -rules dont apply - !?

O, the underminers, no more PA for them either?
I'm working to change all of this...Kamp Doringdraad for the out-of-line instructors is coming along sweetly!
To find a job, even as a policeman, that takes quite a Sherlock....for him to fly aeroplane.....eischhhh, I WON'T BEElieve!
I say, it's a lemon entry....I mean elementary, my dear Watson!

SAPS Airwing
Sorry guys, I believe SAPS Airwing is a no go. I spoke to one of the senior guys there and he said that they no longer do their own recruiting, it is done by SAPS HR who dont know a pilot from a police dog!!
He told me it is very BEE and that a 12000 hour dual rated pilot with 2000hrs t/wheel and 10000hrs turbine was passed over in favour of a BF with a F/W comm. (the advert was for a dual rated F/W & R/W pilot)
On the bright side the money is not bad with the perks and stipends.

Nee hulle het hom gasoek by die fan wat die pilot koud hou
His words was : "I need anybody ... no racial sh&t ..."
Hours and type rating I would take immediately ?
I saw a P Porter the other day over Blouwberg area ... shame the South Easter was pumping boet ... the poor man must have logged his week's hours to return to DF M

Well done to the mystery pilot.........
I.R.slinks back to his corner to hide
Takes out his calculator and starts to scare himself with the figures of becoming a REAL pilot.

Could you conferm that salary again. If it's R128 K per month, then my cv's in the post, if it's per annum then that's blood money unless there's other perks not mentioned.
Next time I speak to anyone from the dog unit I'll pass on the 'brain on a Chain'. I've had cases when the observers on board have told the dog man to stop running as on thermal imaging we can see his dog is now chasing a cat.
IR Pirate, it is a lekker job.
