The majors are hiring, the regionals are hiring, the locals are hiring, the freight companies are hiring, it has to trickle down soon!

And of those 42, I know roughly 15.

There is a lot of people here, but they aren't actually "here"
How can we recommend pilots when we don't know who they are?

Well done on the job, but I think you were hired by ...... AIR SHAKAWE!

The current immigration officer (that is with holding all the permits and applications) will be leaving office at the end of this month and the prediction is that permits will be flowing better after that!

Some operators are still looking for new crew, although non is in a hurry to hire new crew. I know Sefofane is done hiring for this year, so dont even try at Sefo. I think they took about 14 new pilots this year.

Good luck for everybody still looking for work!

Is the Maun hiring season coming to a close now? I'm not qualified as of yet but intend to head out to Maun as and when I am, and when the hiring season begins again. It's doubtful I'll be qualified by the next season either due to financial constraints so i'm asking only to see when the majority of the companies recruit; i've been advised Dec/Jan, which seems to fit what people are saying on here.

FS.

Many years ago now, but FWIW I rented a C182 with an instructor at lanseria and the instructor took it home.

30 years on there is probably a scheduled service by now, taking tourists from Lanseria to Maun in the C210 was a nice little hours building earner in those days as a sideline while still working in a "proper job".
