Angry Aussies

[Twin Head]

Australia is a very small community in Helicopters. AFAP is a worthy cause if you work for the CHC or Bristow environment, they pay well and pilots are looked after fairly well. The piot on a crap wage cannot afford the protection of AFAP. The problem of crap money is deeper entrenched than the Management of most of the Oz Helicopter Operators, Casa has favourites, and will always treat the so called fav's. Some of these favourites are the main contenders for low wages and crap arse pilot conditions, short cuts on maintenance. So a new operator that re-invests money back into their aircraft and pays above award wages find it difficult to win contacts.

Hence we end up with companies like ah, contracts coming out of their ears but massive staff turn over. Casa should not be called our regulator, but our deregulator.
