Post Naturelink

I was wondering if anyone out there could give me some info on Naturelink.

A buddy of mine introduced me to this company and I have gathered as much info from the Web Site as possible, but I was still looking for the standard pilot questions to be answered ie: hours, pay, conditions, etc.

If any one could help, it would be much appreciated.

Cheers

All I could find was on the website www.naturelink.co.za.
Best bet is to give them an email.........

I know absolutely nothing about this outfit... anyways. I know this mad ZA pilot that knows quite a bit about their works... I'll have him write something about it in a while.

Naturelink. I don't know how much the flyer says. They are a Wonderboom ( Pretoria ) based company. Operate Chieftans C402 BE58 PC12 , a B200 or two. The charter side in RSA isn't very busy and i have heard rummers from a very good source that you sometimes wait for your money. Charter pays only 0.80 cents a km. Best is you go see them.

I have thought of something else. They also opperate a Banderante somewhere in Africa. I was in Libraville the other day and there was one of there Chieftans over there. As far as i know you need to be a astronaut to qualify for there incurance. 50 Hrs on type to fly the pistons and i think 1000 total. For the B200s you need 200 on type. Hope this helps a bit.

The Grand Fromage is a bloke called Chris Briers (who won the last President's Air Race if it helps). Reasonable enough bloke to talk to. He has a business partner by name of Matthias Kunz operating out of Bukavu in the congo and they have all the above mentioned aircraft as well as a DC3, Caravan, Skyvan and access to a Lear 35. No harm in giving him a call and willingness to spend a lot of time away from home might be of help. Good luck.

Thanks gang, I am planning on making a call but wanted a bit of a scoop before I did so, so thanks. As for having to wait for your money, I've been in a situation like that before, not very pleasant. How accurate is this info?

Thanks again
