G'day all,
I'd ahve to agree with skimmer - Alligator was/is great - max hours, great bunch of blokes and pay and conditions were good.
I think at Geraldton you'd be hard pushed to get into Shines with a bare bones CPL unless you had an instructor rating and IR, Batavia and Geralton air charter would give you a start though. Good flying too out to the abrohlos - gets your short field skills up!!
