The Goss,

You missed Hinterland.
Everything from the Bongo to 400 series to Kingair. A caravan too. No movement atm.

CP always seems to have time for a chat and offer you a bit of advice when you are looking around. Sadly there are not more like him.

Surveillance also have a BN2, Rheims 406 and a DHC8 or 2 parked in CS.

Good work mate!

Cairns has (rightly or wrongly) generally quite high multi time requirements. About 4-500 is seen as the general minimum for the bloke off the street, when the recruiting was happening in earnest.

It is also a very difficult market for female pilots. Those companies which work in the straits would have great difficulty in employing a female pilot as I am told the vast majority of their passengers (Islanders)are uncomfortable flying with female pilots, for cultural and a couple of other reasons.

As 3 of the main companies start all thier pilots off up there, it is pretty hard to get a look in.
