Not sure where 5 rings gets his info from and it could be correct,but.....Skywest seem to be dealing with ETOPS, Sigma, known other TRTO's and directly though Flight Adverts. I was in TLS this week and met two very nice Aussie guys from Skywest doing the interviews and sim assements. I also talked to some other ATR drivers who were there for interview all had used different channels of recruitment. This deal seems very above board.
That's right my friend.
Australia is really short of experienced ATR drivers (which is not the case of Europe).
I have heard that the salary and benefits are very attractive.
