One of the airlines with best working conditions if you are considering to fly in Africa.

You come from Ethiopia.
Rwanda Air is miles away from Ethiopian and they do not have a project to keep expats in the company in the long run as Ethiopia has.

Rwanda are sending cadets every year to the US & Canada to do there CPLs, FI to return later on to the company.
It will still take some time, but they will send all the expats away somewhere down the line.

Gentlemens Just a quick question, anyone can tell me how is the roster like on A330. Do you get any consecutive days off a month and how many. Is it possible to travel during those days. If possible anyone with a sample roster would be appreciated.
Fly high fly safe

From what I’ve heard, even on an “OFF” day you cant go anywhere. They will change your schedule 150 times per month. In the company’s view you are 30 days per month on stand by. Even to go home on vacations is a struggle.
People continue to leave, even locals…

Another heads up.
It looks like the “new” training manager saw the size of the bad organization and asked for resignation.
He did not even stay for 5 months in the company.
They didn’t let him work appropriately.

Hi! Any info about actual condition for a 737 captain?
I have seen in their webpage that you can go home every 56 days. Is that respected nowadays?

Thank you very much!

Looks like the company is struggling to get a new director of flight operations. The brave man or woman that comes will need to play with a lot of people that do not know anything about aviation, for example the dep. ceo, or even the ceo, and fix all the mistakes of the west africans.

Expats keeping resigning because the lack of professionalism, everything is hard in rwandair, some stupid things like getting uniforms are very hard, not to mention training, a serious scheduling, even with the advertise with commuting people are not applying as suppose because they know it is a lie. Good luck to all the warriors that are accepting to fly for the Rwandese company.

Is the West African CP gone? The Spaniard R Naval and his henchmen ruined it. Then the W African Pygmy destroyed what wasn’t ruined.

No. You fly for a legacy company that respect the aviators. WB is the opposite. Only people fired from another companies work to RWD. If you are comfortable stay. WB dont give upgrade to expats. To get vacations is a big fight, the schedule change 5 times per day.

A RWD 330 intercepted for the Rafalles jets in the French airspace last week. Prolonged lost of communication. Two locals FO on the cockpit and the Captain on the rest perido. That is a good signal of the company standards and quality. Not good
