more info to consider
Also be aware punters that HA cannot give jobs to everyone.
In all my dealings with Stefan he has always been a great bloke. I am surprised by the poop dished out to him on D&G, but then again, it is about situations I know nothing about.
But Stefan and his company, like all others, has desirable minimums. I spent a year in Darwin visiting HA (and all the other companies) weekly and got to know most of his staff as well as him. I've no doubt he saw 10 other pilots per day as well.
But in the long run I don't believe that I was close to a job as I only have 200TT. Most new CPL's will have the same or less.
HA has MANY MANY people to choose from. By his own admission he would love to give all of them a go. But no-one has jobs for you AND all the punters that are there alongside you that have similar total time. Don't quote me, but I believe Stefan likes (or requires) 350TT minimum.
Darwin is great for some, but not really the first-timer haven it is sold as. Good luck to all on your quest for your first job.
Seasons Greetings HA, I hope all is well for you and NAC.
Just my 2c.
