Refusal to accept and train Australians who meet the requirements in favour of 457 visa holders would have to fly in the face of what is reasonable with regard to 457 visas. Please contact somebody about this - maybe start with AFAP and a letter to your local member?
Still don’t understand why an F/O needs 1000 hrs or more to fly a Commuter turbo- prop around not too busy parts of Australia.
Legacy Carriers in many parts of the world take 250 hr plus pilots from Training School direct onto A320/737 etc operating in busy Metropolitan airspace.
Its the selection and training not the hours that count. And of course comparable pay rates.

"Operating revenue increased in the December 2017 quarter primarily due to an increase from our fixed wing operations as Airnorth contributed $21.0 million and $18.7 million in operating revenue for the December 2017 quarter and December 2016 quarter, respectively.
Operating loss, operating margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin improved in the December 2017 quarter primarily due to a benefit to rent expense of $6.0 million recorded in the December 2017 quarter related to the OEM cost recoveries and the increase in operating revenue discussed above. Airnorth contributed $2.2 million and $1.1 million in adjusted EBITDA for the December 2017 quarter and December 2016 quarter, respectively.:
Maybe they improved income by minimising pilot numbers?

They may pay less for a metro. However it was always a stepping stone into the company to fly other stuff.
Most folk had a bras command within a couple of years of joining and were on the jet within 3. In fact a few had jet commands within 5 years.
Or 20K more for a career of flying the intervention industry to the outposts in a stinking hot swearingen sweat box.
Nothing wrong with Hardy. Great company. Especially considering you can go from a single engine piston pilot to a metro captain. Or the hallowed conquest. However I’d happily take the haircut to go to Airnorth and wait for a major to send me south. Or somewhere further north. ‘Great success’.
Sad that the old girls are parked up against the fence. They’ve been talking about punting them for at least ten years. I suppose Sharp will get another few shortly?

It's interesting because that would most likely be VH-ANT which has not flown since 23rd February and as far as I know it is the youngest E170 in the fleet. They have also used it more than the others on their Toowoomba - Melbourne service and even took it to the Avalon Air Show last year - don't know if that was a charter or if the aircraft was on display.

From the Bristow 10K SEC Filing
Airnorth contributed $17.2 million in operating revenue for both the March 2018 and 2017 quarters, and a negative $1.4 million and a negative $0.7 million in adjusted EBITDA for the March 2018 and 2017 quarters,
Airnorth also has $13m+ of debt. 4x leased EMB170s and a few turboprops that are old and not earning any serious revenue. Not sure where TL is going but I bet that Bristow regrets paying $30m + to buy it in early 2015.

If bristow ever wanted out the routes could be picked by QF or VA run with 717s or F100s. Ditch all the prop routes and Alliance picks up the charter side of things.
Ditch all the turbo prop routes and just let people walk home aye? Or pay big $$$ to fly home in charter aircraft?
Airnorth are pretty important to a lot of Territorians, and the EJets are way better from a pax perspective then the squished up seats in a 717 or F100. The pilots need to step up and sort their well expired EBA out - PIA???
Ive heard there’s a worldwide shortage of EJet engines due to an engine issue discovered hence why Airnorth have had to park 1 up.

Good to see that as of yesterday Air North were flying all five of their EJets with VH-ANT coming back to service after seven months (it's the youngest in the fleet and has been reported here as parked without engines at Darwin for a long time). The airline has previously announced that they are dropping the Toowoomba - Cairns service sometime in October but Toowoomba - Townsville will remain.
