You are totally completely correct.
You, me and Aussie Bob could together form an International Consortium, Head Office in the Cayman Islands, subsidised by the EU, bid and win the contract at $1 Zimbabwean dollar per parachute …
But this advert instead looks and smells exactly like Hip, Cool Air Pirate Inc Pty Ltd is offering a “contract” to Instruct/Drop Meatbombs/Spread Superphosphate/whatever, but will be informing our prospective doe-eyed 500 hr pilot that they can have the job IF they get an ABN, send an email to Accounts (who pay 30 days in arrears), “oh” and “what we pay is $1 per student/drop/acre”.
All so they can wiggle out of the Minimum salary, Super, Workers Comp, liability etc.
Our international business case might be legal even if unethical.
Air Pirates are using illegal and unethical Sham Contracting just cos shafting pilots is a core part of their business model.
