Pilot Employment at Sefofane - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
We get many pilots and potential pilots enquiring about positions with Sefofane and asking many questions about employment with Sefofane. We hope this section answers all questions.
Sefofane is an equal opportunity employer. In each of the countries where we operate our first priority and commitment is to employ citizens of the country where we operate. If we are unable to fill positions with citizen employees, we look to employ foreigners. In South Africa there is a large pool of prospective pilots, so to date we have never had reason to employ a non-South African pilot. In Botswana, Zambia and Namibia, we have historically not found enough citizens to fill all the available positions. In Zimbabwe it is practically impossible for a non- citizen to obtain a work and residence permit.
Question: What minimum qualifications do I need to gain employment
Answer: we only employ pilots with a valid commercial pilot’s license. An instrument rating is a distinct advantage. No pilot will progress onto our turbine aircraft without an instrument rating. All pilots should have a minimum of 250 hours of flying experience to gain employment and in Botswana and Zambia, preference is given to candidates with at least 5 hours of 206 time.
Question: What is the process involved in getting employed by Sefofane
Answer: No pilots are hired over the phone or the internet. All applicants must be interviewed in Maun, Windhoek or occasionally Johannesburg. We have a standard hiring process. Before any interview is given, applicants must write an exam which covers both personal and technical aspects. After an interview, applicants are normally introduced to our existing staff before a final choice is made. Finally after successful induction into Sefofane all pilots are trained for a minimum of 100 hours. On average this process takes 6 to eight weeks. During this time the work and residence permit applications are made and the trainee is not able to earn a salary, although Sefofane covers housing expenses if there is space in the pilots accommodation and a very small retainer, currently P1000.00 per month. Of the training time, 50 hours is spent in the right hand seat observing operations and orientation, understanding radio procedures and learning Wilderness Safaris expectations of how guests and staff should be treated. 50 hours is then spent in the left hand seat under the supervision of a training captain or a senior pilot. A lot of time is spent on ensuring that crew are technically competent and ensuring that crew understand how to interact with our guests.
Question: Why should I go to Maun or Windhoek to be interviewed?
Living in Windhoek and particularly Maun is extremely different to what most applicants are used. A visit to Maun and Windhoek is an important part of the application process, for applicants to determine whether they will be happy living in a more unstructured environment
