I have just heard of the third experienced retrieval pilot that has put in an expression of interest/resume on the RFDS website, 2 NSW, 1 QLD, and have had no response. I know one that called the section they had applied to and were told that that particular application on the website does not work.
It costs money to run a website, and I believe there is a price to pay for an add on the AFAP site. Why is money going into something that has not worked in ????? long.
PelAir don't have donations coming in but they also don't seem to be p!ssing $$$ up the wall just because they can. Is that how they are getting a foot in?
Before I started flying for a living I was on good money, and I used to donate, so excuse me if I am a little sh!tty, because my perception is that things can be run better if there is a bit of a shake up in the organisation.
