Makes for a bit of a problem then, 73 reported to be short by about 3 drivers, fokker so desperately short they can't supply crew for its schedule let alone giving up one for type conversion, horrible b scale 737 salary of 422,881 PNG Peso (after PNG Tax etc equal to to about 126 K in AUS depending on the conversion rate this week) so not likely to attract rated and experienced to an airline whose management treats its pilots with almost total disdain.
Spose could use the Dash 8, hang on, thats right, they as well are high on duty due to picking up the uncrewed Fokker Flying..... could be a good time for PNG Air to get some more ATR's, maybe Pixie could enter into an ACMI contract with them for some coverage.
Greatest HR Manager was read about in the Post Courier, make pilots leave due to T&C's and now the aircraft spend more time on ground than in air... gotta admit does end up cutting costs on things like salaries, fuel and nav charges and maintenance, so some mangers will be making KPI bonuses. All about the accounting and them KPI's. Pity the poor manager who is responsible for revenue, not much bonus for him anymore....maybe???
