Fair enough 404. Please tell your insurance requirements for the smallest Type you operate. Then explain to me why, you only employ someone with experience for insurance on the Most advanced or highest premium Type you operate?
Surely you could bring in guys on the smaller types Train them up to your standard on the slightly larger equipment. Or is this too hard? You see I bet you still get 20 blokes coming through your doors with bare commercial or 300-500 hrs TT and you turn them away with the 3000hr requirement. To fly a C206?
Anyway Cairns is a nice joint for a little while. 404 enjoy your REEF!

P.S. Was fishing for a bite ,git one!
Personally I have always found it easier to train an experienced pilot than one that has a fresh CPL.
Now Im not going to read this as necessarily the standard of students youve had , or your individual Instructor prowess, am I ?
