From today’s Australian

We are looking for Captains and First Officers for bases across the country with current instrument ratings, Medicals and Dangerous goods.
Brasilia Captains Total Time 2500hours
- Brisbane based Multi Command 500 hours
Metro 111 Captains Turbine 500 hours
- Melbourne based 3 IFR Renewals
Westwind Captains Current medical
- Darwin / Sydney based Current Dangers Goods Certificate
and this
****** AIRLINES - CAPTAINS - METRO 23
****** Airlines is a leading Australian regional airline based in sunny Queensland. ****** operated a fleet of turboprop aircraft, servicing over 40 destinations through Queensland for a large range of clients.
Due to continuing business expansion, ****** Airlines is seeking applications from the following suitably qualified pilots:
· Minimum 2000, 500 ME PIC and 100 hours night
· Dangerous Goods awareness
· ATPL
and of course REX’s first advert of many to come.


Any pilots out there………………......……hello…………….....…………echo


I love the ‘Due to continuing business expansion’ bit followed by very low (in retrospect) minimums for DE Capts. I’m afraid most of the regional operators will be lucky to keep operating at their current size let alone expand due to insufficient crew.

And some still think there is no sign of a pilot shortage.
