For those that have recently made the journey to Windhoek and have read all the previous posts on this and other threads; how well did the information you gathered here prepare you for your job hunting experience?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Happy landings!

who is there right now?
Hi,
Is anybody on this thread in Windhoek right now? What is up out there anyway? Anybody flying? Anybody hiring?
Anybody hiring expats?
I'd almost bought the ticket, when i got word that nobody hires expats in Namibia anymore these days. What was true two years ago does not work anymore. Can anybody comment on this?

Have at least $3000 ready for type rating etc, when you come here. And plenty of patience.
All in all, if you can possibly find strength to not become commercial pilot, avoid this profession. We are sooooo abundant.

Sea Briese, it's very quiet. Overall, what has already been discussed in this thread, still applies. The only weird thing i encountered were two guys that worked for different companies here for about 3/4 of a year and only managed to make 120h over this period. None of them did even reach 500TT. They left the country days ago.

Talk about fresh news...,
To be honnest I do not think the journalist knew much about aviation...
It might come from a good intention to accually point out some bad aviation sides in this country but it sure ends up looking like they just want to sell papers...
