No actually I have not been aware of this practice - the Sydney basin might be a different kettle of fish but out west and up north CASA seemed to be pretty explicit on that one (to me at least). The company in question would seem to have a CP that is effectively occupying 2 full time jobs concurrently, if in fact he is a airline pilot. Possibly some stretching of the truth as to the airline side of it. And as to failure in my aviation career ?
