No apology necessary Hugh,
Firstly, My condolances to all those related to these deaths. No offence intended by my comments as they are unrelated to the incident.
Simply my opinion about the facts outback.
KS has made his fortune off the backs of young men. The main reason for business is not to give someone a job but definately to make money. The only reason for giving away those jobs is because new pilots are desperate to get anything. Been there done that. If all his pilots stopped work tomorrow for a pay increase do you think they would still have a job? KS is laughing all the way to the bank cause his hourly rate isn't any different to anyone else but his labour costs are half or less.
Good luck to him. If we are all stupid enough to let these guys walk all over us then so be it. Just dont laud them for taking advantage of us.
Working outback is all about !!!! machines and dodgy maintenance. I wonder how many hours this machine has flown with the clock disconnected.....
Giovanni: when your posts start to make sense; come on back to the forum and chat. I was in the outback when you where still inside....so pull your head in. My respect for these legends of the outback is rationalised by plenty of time spent working for them outback and a realisation that they are mostly full of !!!!. They don'tfly well, flog machines, overload, raise insurance rates by pranging regularily (which makes it hard for new blokes to crack in) wouldn't have a ****ing clue about G loading, aerodynamics and a zillion other damaging flight characteristics they expose their machines too.
When you have a few hours you will understand exactly what I am talking about.
