Aren't most of the guys running around in the Skydive Australia 208s first job newbies?
Usually need 400-750 hours to get on the 208, less than charter companies usually but certainly not fresh CPL.

Pay $3500 for 10hours in a C182 and a further $1700 for my JP Authorisation
Or
Pay $3600 for a 750xl endorsement/rating and $1000 for an extra 5hours in the XL which includes JP Authorisation?
Why the would you pay $4,600-$5,200 for a job, meat bombing no less?! When I did meatbombing my company paid for my JPA. I had the required time on type but they hired the 182 at cost to those that needed to build time. $350 an hour for a 182 is a lot even a flashy G1000 flying school one. A JPA won't take more than 2 hours in the air and 2 hours on the ground if you study before hand. How does it cost $1,700.

Please tell me when you finish all this you will be paid?
