APNG have also put off most of thier cadets as well, not to mention the above Captains. I would like to point out to APNG managment, "that people will remember". After paying 90 grand for a cadetship, then getting thrown out onto the street the minute you clock 1000 hours turbine up, is crap. Then to find out that the company employs a national F/O that should not even have a pilots licence, let alone a CPL, to replace the cadet is a joke. No offence to most of the national pilots, as the majority of them are outstanding pilots, but there are a couple within MBA who should not even be flying. It's was good to know that most of the Twin Otter Captains knew how to fly the aircraft single pilot IFR.
The 3 Twin Otter Captains that have gone, are JC, CI and JH. I also believe that NB (DHC-6) is also leaving. Two of these guys were the Tabubil Captains.
As far as certian people in APNG managment getting jobs in Oz goes, well the Kiwi will have to stay in PNG of go back to NZ !
Good luck Country, Cerbas, Plugga, Ando, Stipe, Rochie and anyone else who has been given the flick.
Just off the topic a bit, anyone know how pixie is going ? The exchange rate must also be having a negative effect on them too.
