Layover
From Melbourne the layover in Phuket is 2 nights.. arrive afternoon in Phuket.. stay 2 nights.. then leave the third night late in the evening for an overnight flight. Brisbane to Bali is 1 night layover and I think Perth to Bali and Port Hedland to Bali are turnarounds because the flight is so short from those destinations. Check out there website and have a look at the timetables tab to see when the flights leave and when they return.
You get a tax free away from Base allowance which is calculated hourly for every hour you are away. Pay is quite good. You will be operating from different bases sometimes aswell. Other than the commercial flying, you will also be rostered on charter flights for strategic aswell.
They gave confirmation of who was hired a few weeks ago.. not sure if they are still interviewing as it is cutting it fine now for the training start date of 16 January.. considering you need ASIC card applications through and medical assessments etc done aswell.
