Kili Air, Moshi, Tanzania

Anyone has some info on them?
Gonna write them but my earlier experience tells me they too won't answer. Ran over this company while looking for Tanzania flying pictures.
Based in Moshi Tanzania on the foothills of Mt. Kilimanjaro.
They have flights in Tanzania and Kenya. Flying C404, C210.
(Kilimanjaro Air Safari - Air Charter Services, Flying Safaris and Scenic Flights)

THX in advance

When did you write them? Got different experience and I have been working for them but not anymore. Now seems to be ok with enough crew.

Thanks a lot

THX and appreciate that.
The company seems pretty cool (I work as an art director and for me it means a lot how their website is done - Kili's is pretty sympathic).

sounds like everyone EVERYWHERE is just hanging on to whatever job they have... no movement, no opportunities. :-(

unfortunately this seems to be the most logical thing, if you have the job they let you fly why leave these days?

I have been in Tanzania for about a month now. Have looked into jobs with Air Excel, Coastal Aviation, Tanganica (sp), Precision Air, Flying Medical Service, etc..... Nobody seems to be hiring. Met someone that was hired by Tanganica (sp) six months or so ago and she is on salary but hardly ever flying. The global economic meltdown does appear to be global. Another interesting note is that from what I have heard over and over again is that most of these companies require a two year contract.

Checked with that company in Moshi today. They have one plane and two pilots and aren't hiring.
