There is a company around the traps in WA that do the same thing.... employ private pilots to fly their employees around to their different minesite operations. Aparently they are paid as trades persons and the fly multi engine aircraft around in IFR conditions with up to 7 or so blokes aboard. Not to say the pilots arent skilled or anything, but you would think that the regulatory authority would expect a more organised and regimented way to do this sort of thing?
