Here's a different slant on the issue.
Let's say the operator after facilitating ICUS offers you a job, and given that you have already received induction etc to the normal employed pilot standards you do not require any further induction.
Is the ICUS now in fact training??
The Air Pilots Award (common for most GA operators) states:
16.5 Where employment commences under this award the pilot's service required to be undertaken by the prospective employer, prior to commencing employment, during training period will be recognised and any training required to be conducted at the employee's cost will be reimbursed to the pilot.
Discuss.
