Murray Cossen does mainly scenic stuff to the rock but alot of guys get starts there. Not sure how he's going these days

Chartair need about 700TT They have a several twins but I don't think people get progression. Would be good for twin work since Alice Air Charter got shut down

Aboriginal Air run C208's, PC12, C210, P210. All in A1 condition. Good place to start but NO TWINS and from what I've heard no ones cares about van time. Dunno what their minimums are. Guess C208 time would help

Aero Club does a bit of instructing and has a 210 & a Navajo dunno if they have minimums

NAC has 2 210's and a couple of twins everyone is casual and they didn't appear to do alot of work

RFDS- 3 PC-12's Amazingly busy. Need a billion hours. PC 12 time advantageous

Pearl run 2 King Airs & 2 Metros maybe more. Need 500 multi would be a great job. Mainly weekdays seems pretty cruizy

To get a gig you would need to hang around a bit. There are plenty of hospitality jobs and supermarket kinda stuff going around. If you have some decent time you would may get a gig from your current place of abode without hanging around

Turbluence is painful and the summer is very HOT. Very little IFR weather but when you do get some clouds you earn your money. ILS's down to 300-400 feet wouldn't be unusual. However may only occur once a year Also when it rains it is very wide spread and alot of the strips go out thus u can't always go flying!!

The sectors were usually very long so you got some serious hours when you were flying however it is very choppy in the summer!!!
