Cheapest twins

[mattyj]

So I am becoming resigned to not being a pilot for a while, what with all the spare Origin drivers around. (and the 6 poor buggers from Chats that got the same treatment..for the same reason) Since I will be paying for my own renewel, I was wondering who has the cheapest twin in NZ. I have type ratings in the Ducky, Aztec, C310 and the Aerostar..any thoughts??

Try EFTL the duck's have pretty reasonable rates.

If you're talking about Eagle Flight Training, then yeah, I'd second that. Did a one-off renewal with Mike Foster a couple of years ago and found them very good, with reasonable rates. There could well be cheaper options though?

Don't worry too much about the whole Origin thing. Not sure about other airlines, but things have gone crazy at Eagle over the past month with resignations left, right and centre (people off to all sorts of places). They brought the next round of interviews forward a month (end of September), and as far as I know only one or two applicants to be interviewed are ex Origin. I think many have been snapped up by Air Nelson and possibly Mount Cook, and I guess Eagle would be a decent step back for a lot of them in some ways (J41 captain to B190 co would be pretty tough to stomach).

I hadn't heard about Chats, that's a bastard, and I just saw their newly delivered CV-580 in Palmy tonight. How are they gonna crew that?

Anyway, good luck with your efforts.
