"Good ppl to work for" - that's hilarious!
An operator who -
makes staff pay for their own training.
Doesn't pay award wages ("you got paid per hour of flight time")
Only in aviation would this be considered a good operator to work for. Why not tell it like it is - the wages were ****, the days were long, when I look back now I think I was bloody lucky to walk away without stacking it....but, hell, it was fun! Gives me some great stories for the bar!
PS - I am not sure of flight and duty times, but continuous split shifts in charter are not permitted - I would have thought the fatigue levels at low level would have been higher than in passenger or freight charter?
I did hear of one pilot doing birdscaring in the Riverland (I don't know the operator) who worked for 67 days straight.
