The Big Picture
I have it on good authority that pays have been an issue of late. Pays being late or for the incorrect amount. We all make mistakes but guess who always seems to benefit from the incorrect figure. So have a few $$$ in reserve so if you find yourself out of work because they have joined the long list of operators that have gone under you can get to Broome, Kununurra where there are other operators.
$5000 for a bongo endorsement? Or a PA31? Look at it like a flying school you pay your cash for M E Command for three or for months, by that time the bond has decreased to around $3000 and you are looking pretty employable for an eastern states operator.
If you do go through with it Never tell them or any of your mates where you are going to work when you leave. Golden Eagle Airlines say they do not give references but they do. Like the pay ‘miscalculations’ you will not be the one who benefits. there are always a few unsolicited phone calls made by people as they throw all the toys out of the pram. So watch out.
One hot head that has not left the company for very long is still tight lipped but his story should be published. A lesson in how the bottom end of the GA HR practices can be not such a fair procedure. It will be a good read.
But they do have twins, so enjoy the Pilbra ror the Kimberly.
