Air Mauritius - all you need to know about MK (threads merged)
 

Scuttlebutt is that Air Mauritius may be in the market for crews. Does any one have an email and postal address for them and any further info about the company such as what they're like to work for, chances for advancement and all that other stuff that keeps us awake at night. Much obliged folks....

I know of 3 Air Zimbabwe guys who left for mauritius, the last one R Paterson left in February. I think they are looking for crews. Try their web site to get any info on address application etc.

Hope this helps and best of luck.

FACT-Pilot

Thanks for the gen. Tried their web site and got a load of info but unfortunately all aimed at the punters and not at us wannabes. Would be grateful for any other information such as an email address as the particular bit of the sticks I'm in at the moment has a pretty dodgy postal system.

Skybiter - don't know of an email address, but you can try faxing them at +230 6373190 attention Capt D. Paturau (Chief Pilot).

They've just taken on 17 new F/Os, don't know if they're looking for any more.

Working for them? On the flying side they're a great airline (the 340 fleet, anyway.) Salary and conditions not particularly good. The big problem is whether you can hack living on the Island, not always everyone's cup of tea, (though maybe better than where you are now?)

I think the chances for command have reduced considerably of late, a lot of the locals are starting to get towards the hours needed and will obviously get priority over expats. Up till now, it's been about 4 years before you could expect to start thinking about a command (on the jets, the ATR is different.) But they're supposed to be getting A319s soon, so that might change the equation again.

If you want to try snailmail, try:-

Hope this helps.

Thanks Huntsman, Just thinking about buying a 76 endorsement.......seems all a bit too late now.....all the hopefuls are using local F/O's etc......thanks again...all the best...

look at the rumours forum
there's a thread about people doing self-paid endorsements

Air Mauritius info sought??
 

Have tried unsuccesfully on other sections of this forum but not much luck. Since alot of you guys are geographically closer thought someone may help.
Can anyone provide any info on the Air Mauritius job? ie pay,currency,tax,perks(if any),company,lifestyle etc,etc,etc.
Hoping someone has experienced it or knows of someone who has.
If not on the forum feel free to email to [email protected].

Thanks. :)

Did you apply for a position there?

I'm also after info and would be interested to know if anyone has an interview yet. Or if anyone has any info on the interview process?

Cheers

I'm under the impression you need to be married to be accepted. Your spouse will probably not receive a work permit.

The guys I know there are generally happy although I've heard a bit of niggling with management goes on.

hi guys!
right now, they undergoe interviews but only for airbus a-320/330/340 typed dudes. Unfortunatly they got a nice little pool of qualified guys from sabena (the belgium carrier is doing bad) and also a couple of guys from virgin...but might not be sufficient as emirates singapore and cathay are attracting most of the airbus drivers available.
Good luck to you all...
and regarding contract details, I don't know much.

Air Mauritius- Pro's and Con's
 

Hi there guys, just wondering if anyone out there can give proffesional and un-biased info on Air Mauritius?? Preferably someone who is there at the moment or moved on from there to better pastures!
Thanks

Supply an email address and I will be able to put you in touch with pilots working there. Don't want to give their addresses on the open forum. I will contact you as soon as I have it. The sooner the better. I leave for London tomorrow evening.

Thanks a lot Pontius, if you click on the envelope next to my "callsign" the mail will come direct to me and then we can start comms. Enjoy LHR I am also there tomorrow night!!

Sorry Pontius, it is the grey envelope with the red "stamp" in the corner. Thanks!

Hi Intheslot. I sent you a personal message, did you receive it? We should meet at the Three Tuns pub across the road from Thistle Marble Arch, say between 13h00 and 14h00 local London time on Friday 25 August.

Yo Intheslot,

If you're gonna go...Go BIG.

Buster unload...go!

PS: 2.4 in 8. Enjoy London

Hello Intheslot

You must decide if you are "IN The Slot" or for that matter what SLOT you want to be in !!! Decisions decisions boy!! What do you want from life? You sound like a confused little short boy?!! what is your story?

fast&furious
If you read the initial question (thread) you will see that proffessional comments were asked for, why dont you stick to that for the moment?

Sorry there slotman, I am a patriot and can't understand the confusion. Where are you from and why do you want to go? What is the real reason?

Why dont you phone, invite me to the Dros and we can talk?!!!
Its about time you came to a pub lunch anyway ,you sword wielding warrior.

Let me know the date and time. Its been a while Slotman!!!

That sounds like a mighty fine idea there lad. The rest who want to join could also do us proud. By the way, I am off to Mauritius in acouple of weeks and will be happy to give you feedback. Oh but wait, you want to work there, not holiday there!!?!

Lets stick to the pub lunch then.

Fuelflow, any mate of Intheslot is a mate of mine, so hopefully we will see you there too. :)

Air Mauritius pay rise
 

According to a local news paper Air Mauritius local pilots got up to 20% pay rise to close the gap between local employed and expats. Does anybody have more information on the new contract.

Does anyone know whats it like flying for Mauritius, and what are their requirements.
Also what type of licence is required (ICAO,JAL) ?

thanx :p

Has anyone got any info on Air Mauritius? Salary, perks, time to command, entry requirements and so on. Have heard that they only consider applicants who have been recommended by someone within the airline. What is it like living on the island? Is it the island paradise it's made out to be? Also, any idea how Sep 11 has affected them?
Any info appreciated.

And who said there are more questions than answers? :)

Air Mauritius Hiring
 

Just wondering if anyone out there has any information on Air Mauritius. Are they a good company to work for and that sort of thing. What are their requirements. I keep hearing rumours of guys getting jobs with them with very low time(200-300hrs)and just the bare licence. Is it a hard company to get into? What's there selection process like and also what's it all about?. .Finally the rumours are they hire quite regularly, is there any truth to this?. .Thank you in advance everyone for any light you may be able to shed on this topic. I also encourage people who have worked for them and currently working for them to reply if possible. Cheers. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" />

I heard a few weeks ago, that they are looking for crew's on the ATR's.

The last advert for crew I saw was about a year ago. Minimums were 1500 total with comm & multi IR.

Guys, thank you so far. If anyone else has any friends or relatives who works in the airline, your help would be muchly appreciated. I knew there mins was 1500TT & CIRME, but I hear of them recruiting pilots with less than that. Is it true they prefer the French ATPL?

MK940, from sources in the know the only 2-300 hr pilots in the company are the Mauritian cadets, all others require type rating and hrs.. .They are looking for ATR captains at the moment.. .Preferably UK atpl but others ok, not too sure about US.. .They have a fairly high turnover of crew either due to the company or the living conditions, depends on who you talk to.. .We went for a holiday about a year ago and except for the hotel were very dissapointed, can understand why wives etc could arc up.. .Go for a holiday and have a look for yourself, housing and food are expensive also, depending on what fleet your on money's pretty ordinary.. .Hope this helps.

Licences: they accept any ICAO acceptable licence. There are SA, Australian, French, Zimbabwe, UK, Italian and other licence holders there.. .. .Yes they are looking for ATR guys, but might have filled the slots already I hear.. .. .My sources tell me they have also just recruited about 6-7 pilots for the A340. Apparently ex-Sabena.

Thank you all for taking the time to reply. It has cleared up a few questions I had. If anyone knows more about MK, please do not hesitate to post a reply. . .More importantly about the interviews and their whole selection process. Thanks again. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

anyone out there have an email address for Air Mauritius. .. .Cheers

[email protected] but don't expect a reply !!.. .My sources tell me that the only way to be in with a chance is to be type rated and send them a resume to add to thier ever growing pile.. .If they require someone they select from this pile and notify you either by phone or mail for an interview in Mauritius.. .. .The interview is a half day affair with written questionairs then the personal interview with the cp's of each fleet. You'll be questioned on tech airmanship and crm subjects.. .. .good luck.

Again thanks for your help guys. I guess this is a start and hope to hear from more people. . .I spoke with a guy who flys choppers with them but he wasn't much help. Told me exactly what some of you guys have mentioned. . .He did say about having to know people in the company, but high up helps. Also about not answering emails. I heard they're trying to nationalise their crew. Anyone know something about this? Makes sense but also I hear the reverse of this, that they only say this to please certain people in the company. Not sure what to believe.

Air Mauritius
 

I'd like to send them a CV. Anyone know an e-mail address? Thanks

I am sorry to tell you but you can't send your cv by e-mail. they don't know how to use it. you will have to send it by mail but the chances that they will get back to you are very very small:D
