Ja, Ok, so I suppose starting a fresh thread on this is not such a k@k idea! Ok, Maun situation as follows: (Dont quote me on this, its just me general feeling) One company has hired one chap so far, still a few guys in town looking for work, but some have gone back to where they come from. Was told yesterday that there will be some movement with some companies, but that is what I know. As before, be prepared to spend as much time here in Maun...

Average 1000... per year. sometimes less sometimes more. I started flying at 18. Unlike others, who are flying for money, flying is a hobby to me. I been a member of so many flying clubs i have lost count. By the way, my flying hours are TOTAL HOURS, inclussive of sim. I confess i am tired. thats why early retirement from commercial flying. Again my sincere condolences to family and friends of captain.

Here's the thread: Aircraft crash on lake Victoria

I just wanted to know if there are either now or have been in the past any float operations on any of the African great lakes as they look ideal. Any info would be great. Thanks

I can see this thread is in danger of turning into a political debate on the ignorant decisions our government has made with regard to military purchases. Be that as it may I would have to agree with Groundfloor's comments. Another "great" idea was the purchasing of the Gripen fighters. Great aircraft but as far as I am concerned way too expensive for the job that needs to be done here in Southern Africa. Too high tech...

Iam sure its not with Arik's AOC. PS. Why are the A340 not reg 5N reg and reg CS. Makes you wonder!!!! FAA would never allow a 5N reg aircraft in the USA (Space!!!!!!!!!!)

It's true what you have said. The airline has not done justice to its customers. We should have done a better job of managing our internal crises and ridding ourselves of the divisive elements in our organization. I only hope that we learn from this lesson that we cannot let villagers and town union chiefs to be part of an airline. I hope we get a second chance to move the organization in the right direction.

why is this shocking?
