Add to that a hefty bond that takes a long time to wind down, I heard 8 years?? However if u want a lot of hours fast and are prepared to pay back the bond at the end because you wont stay the full term, and of course be able to support yourself on the salary.....then go for it.
Mango and Comair seem to have developed a taste for Safair type rated crew of late, the pay gap can go a long way to paying off that safair bond

Hi Sky Goose,
Things at Safair are slowly but surely improving. Morale is a lot better than a few months ago and since the salary increases everyone is a lot happier. Sure, yes the salaries could be better, but at the end of the day, the airline is only 3 years old and growing very nicely. At least in these turbulent economic times job security is definitely a draw card.
Training is really good and so is aircraft serviceability in general. As far as the roster is concerned, you will spend every night in your own bed and contrary to popular belief, average 60 to 75 block hours a month.
PM me if you like for any further information.

Wow, this login still works.
Anyway, I hear a whole bunch of Comair people actually went for interviews at Safair! Well.....ten, or something like that. There's definitely one person making the move already though, going from F/O to Captain I think, so it makes sense with Comair's horrible in comparison time to command. And two Captains who timex'd out of Comair now fly for Safair too, but that's a different story. How's that for a turnaround! Comair's quality of life is abysmal I hear right now, with lots of hotel time away from home, always brutal on the family. So sleeping at home is a pull. 60 - 75 hours is also less work than Comair, who seem to be up at 75-80 according to what I know. I guess Safair seems to have worked out that they don't want to be the 'Comair pilot training pool' company. With a faster time to command, better money in the short term assuming quicker command with the associated salary, it sounds like it's looking up for them.
Interesting.

Está servira para distraerle.
Cigarette packet take off = +- 33%.
It might not be applicable but be warned though, SA income tax system will change very soon and there will be no such thing as a self determined non resident ex pat pilot. In effect, if you want to go offshore you will have to apply for financial exit. That will not be a problem to obtain but on the date that comes into effect all your world wide property, save only South African fixed property, will be assessed for CGT and you will have to pay the CGT. The likelihood is that you will have to sell assets to meet that bill.
These regulations can be found on SARS website and others too. They are specifically designed to counter South Africans who work in low tax jurisdictions and who, on the not too distant future, will be liable for full SA taxes.
