Hi,

Thanks

That depends on whether or not he is a cranky balding mongrel in his fifties, with six million hours on floatplanes, and with beach landing experience.:ok:

G'day Coops.

Hi Coops,

Does not CAO 82 forbid exactly that, unless a really small organisation, the CP must be fulltime and can not be the CP for another organisation, or words to that effect ?.

Cheers.

Table A, of Appendix 1, of CAO 82.0, says in part, that for a fleet consisting of a single, single engined aircraft, The Chief Pilot may be employed on a part-time
basis by the operator but may not be Chief Pilot with another operator.

For all other fleets the following applies, The Chief Pilot must be employed full-time by the operator and may not be
Chief Pilot with another operator.

Coops,

seeing as how no one has answered your question, you might base your remuneration on the award.

For a casual pilot, the hourly award rate is 1/800 of the fulltime annual rate.

To determine the annual rate, you need to consider whether ops are IFR/VFR, S/E or ME and what weight caregory.

Caution: pilots of some Torres Straits operators may find the following information disturbing and should skip the next paragraph.

Typically that would place the full time salary somewhere between $37K to $43K pa,
giving an hourly rate of between $46 to $54 per hour, with a percentage loading for CP, a percentage for C&T, IFR etc, etc.

You should be paid the casual hrly rate per hrs flown, or a minimum of 4hrs / day on a rostered flying day, regardless of hrs flown.

As you and your licence form part of the AOC's approval to operate, a nominal retainer should also be factored in as you a key person to the operation, flying or not.

Why anyone would be silly enough to be a CP given the track record of the Townsville office,
(and a few other area offices too)
is beyond me, unless you have a masochistic streak.

Maybe as sanity is restored to the Townsville office this career path may again be satisfying,
but is it worth the aggro? Really?
