Take loads of insect repellant and corks for you bos hoed to keep the mossies and tetsie flys out of your face otherwise you will be in K@K bro . If you like a hot brew just leave your water bottle in the sun and it will be nice and hot ready to add your favourite tea. Oh and carry eggs with you as you can fry them on the car bonnet

As long as you have a CPL your set for a job. Most people arrive with 200hrs and a bare CPL. Company's not to bothered about total time. 5 hrs in a 206 is normally a help for the licence conversion!
best of luck.

Hello to you all!!
It has taken me 3 days to read the previous thread, and as much as i loved the read im happy it's over.
Firstly like to thank everyone for thier great input....!!
The thread strated off a bit like this page 1-15 Lots of jobs come over.
then from 16-20 not too sure just hang around and see how things go. To 21-27 Dont even bother...lol
Well Im thinking of poping down to Maun in a few weeks. If i get a job great if not i need a long vacation anyway. It's true that allot of people want to fly with the big boys. But it's also true that there are people like me who never wanted to fly big shiny aircrafts. My passion has always wanted to fly not press AP. But thats me!!
It will be great to meet allot of you there!!!
Any jobs going?? If not im still coming out!! haha

hey guys,
well i have been here a few weeks, so for you guys working here you have probably figured out who i am
I havnt found a job yet thats not to say that i wont find something. for all you guys out there thinking about coming over, dont do it unless you actually want it. There is work but not much and you will have to work hard to get it. i understand it may pick up in the next few months. From what i understand its unlike previous years where you turn up and get hired the next day.
Maun is an awesome place and i highly recommend the experience to everyone and the flying is
sweet!! but you get some losers who just bitch about not getting work and mope around.
If you come here with the right attitude you will have a blast. I would however be prepared to go home.
hope that helps

Just remember that in order to apply for work and residents permits here in Maun you need a POLICE CLEARANCE from your country of origin or where you live.
This is set in stone, without the PC you will not be able to apply for the permits.

Already have it. But it is Hungarian. I guess I should get a certified translation...
Am I right?
