Yeah I bought Melbourne-Darwin return, $83 all up including credit card fees. Didn't pay to pick seat.
Pity I'm going to have to pay another $200 return to get from CBR to MEL!
Pleased though, never been to Darwin, can't complain, the bus to Sydney from CBR can cost that much!

Damn...talk about old women and plane spotters!....who gives a crap about terminals and seats, airfares and whether Richmond is going to blah blah blah.....
..are there flight crew positions or not?...if not, then this thread belongs in some other crap forum
Does anyone 'in the know' have anything to offer here?

I appeciate that 'fish, and this is, by name, a pilots rumour network.
Milo, though I found his last post quite funny, has posted roughly zero information that would be of any concern to pilots.
If I'm hijacking the thread, lemme know, but I just cant see the point here, unless its a passenger booking and fluffy colourful airplane rumour network

The child troll has been refered to a more suitable site:
http://www.crayola.com/activitybook/
I spend hours there as I'm also not allowed to use anything sharper than a mouse.

Sorry Cunning
Maybe the bleeding obvious - the T&C's are soooo soooo good they HAVE to keep them secret lest they get inundated with unsuitable applicants.
Seems about right in our (alleged) time of pilot shortage - doesn't it???
However they WOULD be interesting!

What would be interesting is if no one worked for or flew with these fishheads... Keep your cash in the country.
Wonder how long they'd last...
Anybody?
Bueller???
One thing's for certain, no one I know who's worked for these sleazy noodles has ever had a good word to say about it. Good luck,fellas....

short flights long nights
Rumour has it that some from the Sandpit is coming in a high post...perhaps he can tell a tale?
Evertonian
Business is business Mr Paxing...(I've NFI if they are though)...if so, you can bet they are paying top dollar for the privilege!
I heard $112k base and $73 per hr for every hour, up to 1000hrs and a $30k retention paid every 3 yrs. Dunno about holidays, meals on flights or pay for everything else though. (from a reliable source)
So assuming...
Fly around 700 hours a year and you can expect $172,000 pa.
OR ...
Fly around 700 hours a year and you can expect $ 163,000 pa
For that salary and then pay for meals and uniforms I cannot see them poaching many drivers from VB or Jetstar.
skipper 95K plus $110/hour from hour zero

Just a question??
It is many years since I flew in God's own Country so pardon my lack of current knowledge.
When I did fly there the annual maximum hours were 900. Has that threshold been raised to 1000?
Cheers

PS - NOT interested in Tiger - just following the thread.

CAO 48 still says 900 flying hours, but nearly all operators have a permanent exemption allowing 1000 hours at the controls. But that is not the nasty bit. as you could knock that off in 10 months at 100 hours a month and then have two months off. Personally I have done that in my past life on overseas contracts with no problems. because the duty times were fairly strict and we always got 11 or 12 hours rest between trips. Under the CASA exemption the standard overnight rest has gone from 10 pm to 6 am to 11 pm to 5 am. You can work up to 11 pm preceding your day off and start the next week's work at 5 am. Chuck in the typical one hour commute to the airport these days and it's all bad. The worst of it is that the old 90 hours duty in a fortnight is replaced by 60 in a week or 100 in a fortnight. Try 40 duty in the 1st week, one day off, then 60 duty in the 2nd week with an approach to minimums to land at 1045 p.m. just as you hit the limit, makes me tired just thinking about it and I don't do it anymore! CASA reckon it's OK so it must be.
The more anal of the experts out there may pick holes in this summary, but that's the way it reads and often that's the way it's rostered.
