Screening in Germany
Been invited for a screening in Germany. Not much info yet due to time difference (it's 7am their time and I've only just confirmed my availability). Any insights to what I'm in for in Germany? Just the sim, or the interviews as well? What type of aptitude test? Technical questions?

I’m a bit confused. Is the interview in Germany or Kenya please? Is Rishworth the only agent? Do you guys know their selection criterion? I mean such as experience on type, license preferences, origin...

Yes it does say all the requirements on the company’s website. But it also says the deadline for submission was October 8, 2016. I assume Rwandair has changed their policy on pilot recruitment after that day. Am I right or wrong please? Thanks!

Does anyone know what the CRJ street captain position pays?
Also that commuter schedule sounds a little rough, any way to live in country and have a more typical airline schedule? Seems like a place I would at least consider living for a while.

I am (as is obvious from above) also interested in going but at the same time don't have first hand info. That said, I have a friend in Kigali who´s been there for a couple of years, working as a teacher. He likes it. It is safer than most cities on the continent. It is however relatively sleepy compared to other cities he says. Also, it is pretty expensive for foreigners so expect the housing allowance to be used in full, also western comfort foods and the like is very expensive. We´re talking 8-10 Euros for, say, a tube of Pringles.
I´d say that the salaries are low as Rwanda as a whole, however amazing their progress is since the mass killings two decades ago, is still a very poor country that is highly dependent on foreign aid. They pay what they can afford.

Rent prices are high, but I would disagree about the Pringles comment. Food, while expensive, is not outrageously so. Said can of Pringles is probably more like EUR 3.50. Besides, Pringles are bad for you, Mzungu. Shopping at Nakumatt or the German Butcher will set you back some Euros, shopping at a local grocer will not be nearly as costly.
Kigali is clean, safe and has a nice climate. No, it's not a metropolis and things can and do move very,slowly there. Having been to every nook and cranny on the African continent, I can say with certainty that Kigali is delightful and Africa "light."
Rwandair isn't a career destination but, if it gets you where you want to be, a worthy excursion.

If you live in Africa, and are worried about the price of Pringle’s, perhaps you should consider Emirates or Qatar. Also, if you’re on the 330, you’ll be outside the continent every week and can stock up on groceries abroad. If you’re on the 73, you can stock up in South Africa. Rwanda is about 30% less expensive now, than it was 5 years ago. This is a combination of more trade, competition, lower import taxes, more domestic production and a more favorable exchange rate. Restaurants are a lot cheaper than they were, service is better thanks to POS transactions and rents are less due to an over abundance of rental properties than in the past.

the chief pilot does. He does it from London too. He’s a great guy. Honorable, fair, kind, he has your best interest in mind and he’s a true leader. He won’t call dispatch to assign you his 0700 flight on your off day, when you landed at midnight either. You won’t see his car is the parking lot of K Club at 0530 either, when you’re Enroute to the airport to operate this flight.

I keep seeing more and more adds of late for expressions of interest for NG pilots at Rwanda. But thats been advertised for months now. I showed interest 6 months ago but have heard nothing back about starts.
My agent seems to think it will be awhile before they need NG pilots.
Any insider news?
thx

Are you Spanish or not current? RwandAir has had bad luck with the Thpanith. Think persona non grata. Ricardo Naval DFO and the former CP. You seem to post a lot, asking for info with no reference to your experience or qualifications and don’t add anything to posts. Perhaps you’re phishing or not experienced.
