All I know is they always hog the fuel bowser and block taxiways on a daily basis.

Got access to a few of the Interview Questions.

1 ) waddaya do if ya see a couple of blokes drinkin pizz in a tinny 54.5 miles off shore.

2 ) waddaya do if ya see a Pord Palcon Pamily Wagon ablaze on the barge goin to Gobe?

3 ) do ya reckon the Bongo would be grounded with the Aircon U/S?

4 ) what would ya do if a bloke lookin like a hurricane pilot with a really thin moe rocks up for shift shoutin' Tally Ho!!!

5 ) are you lying saying that you dont have an Instructor rating so we then dont stick ya on the Bongo in T I as a check and Trainer forever.

6 ) are you regretting not being a smart arze by not asking for the Dash 8 outta Darwin as your first posting.

Just have to answer honestly, thats the trick.....

OK, I'll have a go Mick.......

1). Fire off a distress flare of your own, you know all this flying in my khaki/green jumpsuit (with those damn sexxy badges all over it) has given me a terrible thirst, and you are hoping he'll chuck a coldie up for you to nail that thirst........

2). Get my AeroCommander all cranked up at zot feet AMSL, so that I've got wunnadem sexxy water rooster tails going (you know, just like them fighter jocks doing near Mach 1 above the water), and do a low flyby over the top of the barge...... of course not to forget the pull-up and wing-over after completeing the "drench run"............... Negative Ghostrider, the pattern is full.........

3). S#!t, has this thing got aircon, wherezat?

4). Answer him.... "Rightio Chaps, Orf we go for a jaunt over the Big Blue Briney"....

5). S#!t No! Just clarify it with..... "just remember the blue side is always UP."

6). Now way, a real man invents hit own luck..........

Howzat?

They might ask if you can...

1. Block the radio with elongated phrases and usless tracking details.

2. Barge in on the circuit at super high speed in the Bongo (85kts)

3. Get along with Primadonna observers who know more about flying than you do.

4. Be super secret about the fact you fly to the same patch of water every second day.

5. Stay on the ground if its drizzling to much.

6. Park so you can create heaps of obstacles that other pilots need practice taxying around.

Flame away.......

I'm sure someone out there will answer for you-
" What are the holes in the jetty at horn for ? ".
Then you'll be talking to the right people!

There are currently negotiations going on for a NZ operator to do New Zealand Surveillance work .... so hopefully the Aussies will not be needed !

I know how Aussies hate to do NZ's "dirty work"

Dashim,

What are the details of the NZ negotiations - all Ive ever heard is that the airforce wern't getting involved so I personally cant think of who else would be interested in doing the job?

Any details may help ease the curiosity - Cheers!

hun,
If I were you, I'd do some research on the parent company. No, not NJS but FRA. They're a part of the Cobham group of companies.
Find out what sort of work SA do. Base locations and aircraft flown. I think you should be able to find something about that on NJS's website. Look up Customs. Should be some nice info there about what is looked for etc.
I dare say you'll get the standard interview questions.. ie why do you want the job, are you aware you'll be based xyz etc.
I'd revise basic IF and flight rules questions, some basic tech questions. Usual stuff a pilot should know.
When I did my interview it was with Wazza. I don't think he's doing the interviews any more.....

Why dont you just take your ego waddle home and sit infront of the play station a little longer ,you might be able to find a game that will simulate a bungles scenic.

They own NJS. FRA are part of the Cobham group. They are in the UK.

Thumbs down

hun, only a scared, sh!tstirring, intestinally challenged child would post what you have above.

Think back to your own previous posts when you started using your nick here, and realise that this was only a pi$$take.

Grow-up you coward.
