Hi Raropilot
Frickman is dead right. To get a job in Kunna's you have to be here. I rang them from Melb with about 2,500 hours seaplane time and was told they would really like me but it wasn't a job offer. I had to go there to get that. So I did and worked there for 2 seasons. I found Craig and Gail, the owners, to be top people, but tough as well. I don't work there now as I found a really cool non flying job here but would work for them again.
I also hear there is a new CP arriving soon. He will be looking for pilots from now to the end of the season most likely but the earlier you arrive in the season the better your chances. Age is no biggy as some of the guys look like they should still be at school to me. Alligators ops manual even has a kind of welcome note in it for new pilots just entering commercial aviation so will take minimum hours. Be prepared to hang around and be useful before you get a job however as it counts.
Slingair have higher hours requirements which I think are 800 or thereabouts but same deal other than that.
Good luck.
