Any thoughts?

Tread very very carefully. The position of "contract" pilot is extremely dodgy with the ATO and has some nasty insurance ramifications. :uhoh:

Don't worry, the actual job doesnt interest me personally in the least.

Just wondering what others thought of such an ad... 'Freelance' pilots with ABN's and trades??? :yuk: Who's aircraft would they be using?

How would the whole contract pilot thing work with AOC's and the like?

[chief wiggum]

and what does CASA think of this ? surely they MUST know that it exposes the pilot to extreme pressures in order to keep his/her "contract"!
