Kununurra situation...
I have no advice for anyone about the trek up north. It really is a personal decision. My post wasn't designed to put people off or encourage them. There is so much crap espoused by people in this forum/industry that I thought some honesty wouldn't go astray. So for those of you who want to chuck your 2 negative cents worth in, how about you go find somewhere else to play.
Call the Kimberley Croc backpackers and ask to speak to Ngaire. You can ask her yourself how many pilots she has sitting around the place. More keep arriving each day it seems so competition is going to be very tough this year. One operator has even stated their preference is to employ pilots with a night VFR.
As pointed out by Tambo1, I was simply trying to let anyone who is interested in the situation up here know where things are at. Some of the guys have been up here since late November and the operators up here do seem to be well aware of who has stuck it out.
