anybody heard much about this mob in terms of min requirements etc, or is it likely to be similar to the rest of the east coast? (1000 hours?) I assume most of the current pilots are from GSL Marree.
You can ring them to obtain that information. That's what I did.
"Hey, I'm looking for a job, do you employ first timers and what sup with the Whitsundays op?"
"If you wanna work for GSL you need not have bare minimums and be happy to go and slog it out at lake Eyre first before getting close to the Whitsundays."
Were they still even operating at Lake Eyre at the end of the last season? I heard hat they got kicked out of the pub so I wonder if they will even be back and where they will operate from next season?
XXX- oh really? so they operate a seasonal ONLY service down there? Nothing indicated on their webpage to say they wont be. What season do they usually fly in, wet or dry?
I can't find any real info on the GA8 floatie, how much useable load have you got to play with once the Wip's are strapped to it? And how much is the a new Airvan with floats worth?
I totally agree, I hope it doesn't get off like a C206 though. To have water performance like a beaver, it will 99% need more grunt than that, however, my experience with the guys at Gipsland, when operators ask for it, they are more than able to deliver.
