Still busy?

[aviation_enthus]

We've all seen the effects of the 'GFC' upon the industry, but I've heard rumours some parts (however small) of aus are still busy.

I know Darwin has died off and smaller flying schools are struggling but who was had minimal effect? Or even busier now than last year?

Please don't turn this into a job thread, try to keep it as a 'state of the industry' topic.:hmm:

Teaching helicopter pilots in the Sydney basin. No downturn that I can see.

No change where I am still very busy, any chance you wanna do my night shift for me?;)

Howard, isn't yours the only industry that IS growing in aviation? sick people? And yeah I'd give it a good go, just take me for a lap or two and I'll figure the rest out on the way :)

I'm quieter than last year by about 40%.

Anyone want to come fly in the Yak?

Hardy's Aviation in Darwin seems to busier then a one arm brick layer in Bagdad.

GFC has not seemed to effect them at all, if anything they are doing more flying:D

There is certainly work out there, both for companies and people like you.

Take alook at my example, operated two B58's business was going no-where real fast, deciding to purchase 100% of the company I managed to find work...

Saying that, I now have a couple of brand spanking new vans!

I even had to knock back a job for a B58 cause I've sold them
