Has something changed recently in "PNG aviation management school" specifically with how to look after you most valuable asset - your people?
Obviously aviation and living in PNG is unique - inclement weather, LSALT above 16,000', lack of ground based aids and radar services and the lack of law and order to name a few.
In order to attract and retain quality aviation professionals in this environment, you have to pay a margin above comparable roles elsewhere - this is the cost of doing business!
Living and working in PNG is dangerous. This was clearly not factored when reviewing salaries (and l include APNG in that statement)!
It might be high time for pilots from all the bigger operators (PX, APNG and HL) to band together on an united front to negotiate reasonable terms and conditions with one voice one association.
Conditions that attract and more importantly retain a stable and professional workforce.
