BEWARE Non paying outfit in WA

Hi guys and gals,
There is a relatively new air ambulance operator based in Karratha.
They operate a really old Citation 2.
I would recomend anyone being offered work for this lot does a bit of research first.

Firstly they don't pay on time - ever. Guys have left because they were 7 weeks behind and never got paid - (even after not being paid, one guy was told by the chief pilot that he would have to pay back his training costs!)
Guys go up and do 2 weeks contract work and then have to fight for months to get their money. Inveriably they will only get paid when the chief pilot is desperate for them to cover for another 2 weeks.

They will make you all the promises in the world, but beware - NONE of them will ever be fulfilled!

I hear through the grapevine that they have even managed to convince 2 poor suckers to pay for their own endorsements... For about 1hr per week flying. Sounds like they really pulled out all the stops in selling this lemon.
