I worked for them in the mid 80s.......the head office staff were generally great........field management was autocratic.....Flexibility is the key word!! the problem is that they expect you to be flexible..........whilst they remain very inflexible!!!..........dont expect anything..and you wont be dissappointed !! good luck and enjoy.

Are they still operating Pilatus PC6?

I ran out screaming after a month I’m sorry to say.

The A/C’s were generally in good condition though I have seen some rather fouls ones.

Rotation is 5 weeks on 5 weeks off while living in a tent city in the desert of Libya. There are more agreeable rotations and locations (few), usually reserved for those higher up the seniority.

I don’t know if they still operate the King Air but definitely the PC6 Porter.

As Minosavy Masta indicated, bush flying is interesting but – “no time no money” is a chronic condition.

All the best to you.
