Just read today's `The Australian` newspaper, Aviation Supplement.
Nearly choked on my toast after seeing the Air Niugini advertisement for "suitably qualified first officers to join our expanding Dash 8, Q400 and F100 fleets".
Requirements: ATPL. 4000 hours aeronautical experience with 2500 hours on fixed wing aircraft which includes a
minimum of 1000 hours command on multi engine aircraft as well as 100 night hours aeronautical experience.
All that lot to fly as a first officer on a turbo-prop based in Port Moresby. They must be dreaming.
My wife said all that experience is probably needed so the first officer can keep the captain safe...
