Maun Update 2011
 

Thanks to morgan32 this is the current situation in maun
Aspirants - 30 (9 locals) Time ranging between 200-900 hrs
Vacancies - 4-5
no body is being hired so far, with me reaching there as soon as my renewal is completed will make the pool to 31. I m not trying to paint a bleak picture but may the best of us get hired!!!.

^i just got back from Maun so good luck to you and enjoy your stay ! You'll have a blast believe me ! Are you going to audi camp ?

May ALL of us get hired.
The majors are hiring, the regionals are hiring, the locals are hiring, the freight companies are hiring, it has to trickle down soon!

@ matc

Yes Audi is in my mind, do you recommend anything better and cheaper?.

@ darkroomsource

Total respect to you!! Yes it has to trickle down and maun yet has to feel its effect!. Hope to see you there soon!.

Audi camp is the cheapest !

Happy new years everybody,

@charles can you give me your mail adress please, I got a job by the way, with air shacawé.

Now I have to go through all the paperwork and permits but should be ok.

I'd say we are 35 now ....

Hey Guys,

happy new year 2011 and wish you all the best.

I got my CPL/IR licence (Frozen ATPL) from South african CAA about 4 months ago and now i'm looking for a job in Botswana and/or Namibia.
Could you please guide me that how can i get a job in these countries?


Thank you.:ok:

Maun Update
 

Any updates on the Maun Scene? :}
Is the season over?
Whats the trend now?

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?

Not there yet!!!!!
 

I m not there yet!!!!!. My renewal is taking a bit longer than expected!!!. will surely get in touch with you lilflyboy!!!. BTW i have send some mails to SUSI air and pt sky aviation and posted on the DCP board, hope you can answer them for me lilflyboy262

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! :ok:

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!

lilflyboy when you taking me up for a flight? are you waiting on those beers that i promised? you have to show up at s.bar to collect em you know.

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.

Hello

Im finishing my cpl this week, was wondering what is
best way getting to Muan from JHB. Bus ticket from JHB
are R250 to Gabs, but I can't find any info on Gabs to Muan.
Any advice??

Thanx

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".

That would be awesome, but i'm looking
for the cheap way, Air Botswana is R2000
from JHB
