TL refueller tells me the EOI from within Virgin Australia for training and check secondment to Skywest on the ATR has exceeded what both companies thought it would be. Looks like more pilots are chasing lifestyle rather than big jet flying.
I see ATR positions were advertised on 23Nov with a closing date of 30th Nov and now again today with a 2 week window.
I was just curious as to how many applicants and with what experience levels they are getting, does anyone know???
Was surprised to see another advert as earlier in the year there seemed to be many well qualified t/prop Capts and FOs, some with ATR time all applying for these positions.
I figured they would be swamped in a week with at least 1-200applications, ( probably the same as for Perth based positions??)

ranmar850 What was the Virgin-liveried '72 doing in Perth late last year? Spotted parked up as I came in on a charter. Never saw it again.

Does anyone know where I can find the terms and conditions for the ATR crew? I can't seem to find it on the AFAP's website nor the Skywest's.

Base salary yes...but the Sunnies EBA is pretty condition rich, which helps top up the pay packet every fortnight 
Late evening holding into Brisbane is helping crews with the call in allowances that's for sure

Yep, got a call from HR today regarding an upcoming interview :-)
Likewise, got a message on my message bank to return their call for an interview.
Anyone who is a current driver there or been interviewed in the past who could shed some light on the assessment process you please PM me some info?
