Do they hire mustering pilots straight out of CPL?
It can be great fun flying charter in the bush but also very hard work, there will be some character building descisions to make as well, all in all I think it is a great experience.
I reckon it would be heaps easier to land a charter job in the top end if you had 500hrs rather than 300 (they call me Einstein) and would recomend dropping jumpers for the up coming summer to get to 500, if you went up there now there is a good chance that when Feb roles around you'll still have the same number of hours you have now but will be in debt , if u cruise around all the small drop zones in QLD and NSW now you could well find yourself in a 182 on Xmas day, havin a massive party after with crazy jumpers and maybe getting paid $100 as well!Its coming up to busy time for the jumpers.
Hope that gets you thinking, timing can be very important.
