Getting a mustering endorsement In Australia
Hi all, I have recently finished my CPLH and am planning to head up the top end at the start of the wet. (I have missed the season this year, so I might aswell make some cash down here while I can).
My question is can you get a mustering endorsement before looking for a job? I am aware of the 100 hours command time before gaining the rating. This might seem silly but I have rang a few schools and been told, Sorry mate we cant do it cos you have actually got to go mustering to be checked out for the endorsement and we dont have the contacts to provide that service. (but advertise mustering training!!!!)
Do any of you working pilots/ground crew have any idea if there is an operator who can provide me with the mustering experience to get the endorsement, I have some ground cattle experience. Obviously this would have to be paid for, any Ideas of the going rate if I can find someone willing to do it.
Thanks for any replies or Pm me if you dont wish to post
Bye for now
