Ramble On. No. I would never employ a person on a work visa to fly my aircraft. Have employed lots of pilots over the years but not unless true blue.
It's the whole cost issue that's out of hand.
Then again CASA appear to have advertised lots of jobs at about $150k inc super . So what's going on here.
My whole life has been about getting the Aviation Act changed to reflect viability of companies. Even saw the minister about three weeks ago about this very issue. Got nowhere.
And I now hear a person who could do a lot to reduce costs has been rejected by the CASA Chairman and Board for consideration for the top job.
Why are they doing this?
