Mr Hat.. You're quite correct..
In addition to that they give you FULL PAY from the day of hiring - no training wage, which is quite rare. You don't have to pay for your endorsement.
2 Year bond isn't exactly a huge chunk out of your life either.
And now with bases in Cairns, Townsville, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth... With home (pretty much) everynight - unless it's a special charter.. Really does make for a charming job.
An Alliance aircraft does not take-off unless the money is in the bank from the customer up front.
People rarely (if ever?) fail checks/sims in Alliance... PJ has made it clear to all the check and trainers that it's big "T" little "C"... and the last I heard.... the guys have an absolute blast when they head off to Malaysia/Melbourne for their sims??? Must be good to have a golden amber with the checkies after completing a sim
the only real grumble I've heard lately is the Adelaide guys aren't getting catering, or getting insufficient catering... is this correct?
Recently P.J has been appointed as the Chief Pilot (or FOM)... which everyone is really happy about... you couldn't ask for a better boss... must be exciting for the guys in alliance with all the new prospects - enjoy it lads....
