Pilot jobs Flysafair
 

Aparantly Flysafair on a huge recruitment drive.
Great opertunity to get on a jet early, get good hours, fast!

Not too sure on the working conditions, I hear very low morale and not even pocket money as a salary, but hey, get the hours and move !

Anyone else Have any gen ?

"Huge recruitment drive", "very low moral", "not even pocket money as a salary".

Modern day slavery at it's finest.

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,

Im thinking of applying to FlySafair as a DEC, anyone got any idea on the package they offer, cant find anything on the web.
Im a skipper on the NG with 5000 PIC.

thanks in advance.

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.

What sort of money are we talking about at Safair?

What are the average salary deductions in South Africa with no special claims for family, children etc.? In simple words, how much money you keep in your pockets from the 8K USD gross?

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.
