Hey Woomera

If someone knows of any jobs available.....are we allowed to place it on this website??? or keep it to ourselves????

Confused as my topic "Pilots wanted" deleted.

Thought this website was to help other pilots especially when an opportunity arises for a fairly low time pilot to get some turbine experience or is it where pilots come to bi%ch about GA???!!!!

FP:confused: very very confused.

Fail passive, as you have only been around a few months, I’ll try to explain.

1. First and foremost, PPRuNe is a private site, funded personally by a couple of professional pilots, user contributions and a meager stream of advertising dollars. Jobs can be advertised (http://www.pprune.org/advert.php) on PPRuNe and you too can contribute (http://www.pprune.org/go.php?go=/ptorder/ptorder.htm).

2. PPRuNe is a professional pilot’s forum, not a job seeker site. If we permitted unpaid job adverts (or any unpaid advertising) the site would quickly deteriorate and the professional debate threads swamped by job seeker adverts.

3. Some GA jobs in Australia are by less than desirable operators, offering wages which are not legal under Australia’s industrial relations legislation. We at PPRuNe have no way to check the bona fides or credibility of both advertisers or job seekers, thus both types of post are removed.

Buy Friday’s The Australian. If an operator can afford to advertise in that paper they can certainly afford to pay Award wages!!!
