Skytrans expanding?
There are a couple of adds up on the AFAP website for crew based in Perth and Townsville. Some expansion? Didn’t think they had enough airframes for their current schedule. |
Anyone have an idea about how many applications they’ll receive given the minimums and preferred number of hours for both FO and CPT? |
Considering minimums and remuneration I doubt many.
|
Why don’t they upgrade their Caravan Pilots? Something called internal progression I think it’s called. |
I heard they were bidding for Air North?

Ridiculous Australian rules at play.

The Dash8 is a high capacity aircraft. Low capacity requirements don’t apply! Experience would only be limited by company policy. No reason to not promote C208 pilots to Dash8. |

Is the Dash 8-100 High or Low? I would’ve thought Low. |

Ok I stand to be corrected. I just looked at the definition of High Capacity. I suspect this has changed sometime in the last 5 years?. Anyway Skytrans did have a high capacity AOC 5 years ago, prior to operating the Dash8-300. ( when It only operated the 100 series Dash ). It was most definitely defined as High Capacity back then. Seems the current definition is greater than 38 seats. |
Its the AOC thats classes it high or low. Qlink has a high capacity AOC and Skytrans a low capacity AOC. Same aircraft different regs.

Pay for an FO under $60k? No thanks
|
New CEO
Wonder if the expansion has anything to do with the recent changing of the guard at the top?

Google is your friend:
Salaries: https://www.glassdoor.com.au/Salary/...3_D_KO9,14.htm Salaries - Looks a tad low: Pilots Salary - wingslapper.com Vacancies: https://www.skytrans.com.au/company/careers/ Reviews: https://www.seek.com.au/companies/sk...irlines-804663 |
Nothing within those links is credible. I'm very surprised not one skytrans pilot lurking on here has bothered to answer a very simple question.
|
EFA 737 Skipper 120k I hope they links certainly are not credible. |
|
Apply for a job and ask them during the interview, it's not rocket science.
|
REALLY???? not one Skytrans Pilot on here...hard to believe....Those links are worthless as has been pointed out...thought there might be at least 1 Skytrans Pilot on here willing to post.
|
I’m told the EBA listed on FWC website is not current, and individual contracts are in place. So, I guess, turn up and negotiate your own package. Good luck. |
So.. anyone score a gig with Skytrans yet? |
Skytrans have made the decision to make all engineers redundant and use Hawkers for their maintenance. |

This thread reminds me of a rather famous Ronan Keating song. |

So, back to my original question.., have any PILOTS scored a gig with this crowd recently? |

The low capacity RPT requirement of 500multi command make progression for the Caravan pilots very hard. The impractical and unobtainable dangling carrot. Skytrans have progressed a few pilots off the C208 onto the Dash over the last two years. As far as their AOC, yes, the Dash 8-100 is classified as a Low Cap aircraft due to seating 36, however Skytrans hold a High Cap AOC as they operated -300's in the past and I believe they intend to again. WRT salary: (to the best of my knowledge) : Capt - $105K, F/O $75k (or thereabouts). Overnights are very rare. No EBA but everyone gets offered the same contract and I don't think there's much room for negotiation. It's not a bad gig if you want to be home nights and have 99.9% of all weekends off. The flying is pretty good, if not repetitive and the crew are a really good bunch to work with. NWF |
