Well put S/E, they are quick to bag us out going to Oombi but too often do I see a PKU plane sitting there all day, I could only quess what they are upto while waiting for their return flight
I can see a shiny new set of "black wings" on the horizon for one of you ywym stugglers.
Or even another "clear prop" could be roaming the "streets" of oombie before the season is out

What happened to jangerlingjangerling's response on the other thread? It was spot on. Lets face it boys YOU ARE in wyndham. Dont bother fellas, in life there are always going to be the Spring field vs Shelbiville situations. Like Bondi Junction and Everliegh st Redfern, like Kununurra and Wyndham. Remember wyndham Yokles that wyndham is just above oombie and lumbaru in the poor C@#T food chain. As for all the KU aircraft sitting idle, yes they do between the hours of 1700 to 0600, then 0815 to 0900 then again from 1100 till 1430. FRV to WYM flying is only marginally better than being a circuit hero. Having to interact with pax is not a problem at all. Just because your pax (from FRV to WYM) are far more eloquent and educated than youselves, I hope you boys dont feel inadequate and avoid trying to spark up a conversations with them. Lifes tough in wyndham so we should probably just ease up. But because you guys are such pathetic strugglers..... we'll keep it up.
Keep that wyndham gene pool shallow fellas.

Mate, I never realised that such large class divides existed in the Kimberley? And using the analogy of comparing "The Jungo" to Eveleigh St probably isn't the best example anyway - although all those new designer label stores have given it a bit more cred in recent times! As long as there is somewhere to sip your latte mate!
Anyway, well before my time and yours, Wyndham was THE hub of the Kimberley. The port was in full operating mode, the meatworks were churning out the steaks and F27s operated into YWYM! As far as I'm concerned, the place has a hell of a lot more history, character and intrigue about it than that liefeless place with the ridiculous urban planning we call Kununurra!
As for the flying, WYM-FRV-WYM is probably the most work you will do for 0.7 or 0.8 in the logbook. Refuel the aircraft out of drums in 40 plus heat, pick up the pax, pick up the grog, load the aircraft to within a bee's dick of it's rear CoG, wait until the last possible minute for someone's "brudda cousin" to turn up, then off you go. Then when you get to the other end, trying to sort out who is paying for it, who is going back on the return trip etc is all great fun as well.
Meanwhile, the Kunners boys are having their hand held through their 80th bungles trip. Pax dropped at the aircraft and maybe a good sort of two amongst them. Off we go, RWY 30 or 12, take your pick! Can't remember the spiel? It's OK, we've got a tape to play. Can't remember the track? That's cool, just follow one of the other 20 aircraft in front of you.
Your phobia about circuit bashing is a little worrying as well. Flashbacks to that infamous first solo where you took off without a clearance? Thought so...
Cheers,
TL

Who really cares what pax or loads you have on the ku/wym-frv/lumbaru routes anyway. It does not mater which company you work for they all have their problems/advantages and all the aircraft are 25 years old. The flying is great and so are most of the people you work with.
Everyone is there for the same reasons, to get more hours and to move on. The problem is that some of these "senior" pilots just cant manage to take their @#$!@ out of their cp's ass and move on. Too bad for them and all the more jobs for us.
At least the "struglers" in wym have some twins that take a brain to opperate unlike the part-never's flown by the ku crew's.
There is a life outside of Ku boys its just that the longterm crew have lost sight of it.

Transition Layer, how is the circuit bashing? I heard the veiw of the M5 is very appealing. The vista of condell park and lebos shooting each other and the cops must be awe inspiring. Anyway surf at byron was awesome and there were whales off the coast and dolphins at wategos. But you better soak up those cherokee circuit moments cause rumour has it that the veiw in the nova sim that you have been banished to is even worse. Your point about flying in wyndham are valid but they strengthen my point. All that effort for 0.7, oh well.
Take Care TL and brush the dust off that ground IF part of you flog book.

Very astute assesment of the state of the long term "senior" pilots. They spend significant time around the CPs posteiror.
The part bananas aren't the most advanced twins floating round either. But at KU there are 2 lovely PA31s, 1 lovely C310 and an awesome C208B. ( Also some severly bent/destroyed C310, C210 and choppers in the hangar of "shame")

Gees, what's all this aggro between WYM and KNX? Wasn't like that when I was at KNX (94-96).
What's stirred it all up?

I dont know redsnail, the Wym guys offered to get together and have a little fun, and this is what the Pku BOYS reply is.
I think they feel that we are a threat or something, or maybe its just the type of new pilot we are getting through the system these days, willing to backstab the next guy instead of sticking together.
Well good luck to them.

drshmoo,
It's surely about time you come up with something new to sledge me about? This circuit bashing thing is getting quite tiring but whatever floats your boat.
While we're at it, if we're going to use old lines, i'll throw one in about which column most of your hrs are going in these days? We might both sit in the RHS, but at least mine is CMD! Multi-crew ops in a chieftain must be some seriously challenging stuff. (Jokes aside, do your best to be in SYD for the W/E of Fri 2nd July, looks like being a rather large one.)
Redsnail,
Dunno about the other guys, but i'm just having a dig at the Kunners boys for a bit of a laugh. I'm pretty sure no-one is taking it too seriously (except maybe drshmoo!)
Cheers,
TL
P.S. This is all getting a bit personal, so i'll get it back on track! Go Wyndham Crocs!

Rrespect

Bypassin as for your complicated twins out of wym I believe they could be a little too much for the wym boys. I clearly remember a cretain twin flying 150 nm into knx with an engine shut down for fear of fire ( fair enough) but to then conduct a single engine fly past go around at less than 100 ' and turn into the dead engine with pax on board ,Im glad these guys dont have anything more complicated.
Not to mention the bogged truck located at least 2 milesoff the end of 28 at ykal interfearing with the climb out gradient.

The Cambridge Gulf is the anus of the earth a Wyndham is 40 miles up it
Seriously – when I was up there, even Kununurra wore a bit thin, however a quick drive over to Wyndham made us realise how fortunate we were.
In those days the Bungles were not on the tourist map, Camipeski run the pub, and I was young
Great memories

For you high time twin engine boys in KNX we were just wondering if some of the AA boys still had the key to the bosses $##@@!!.
Rumour has it that a certain Belray bus driver got lost somewhere up a certain visiting other boys rear end. Keeping it in the family??, whens the wedding??
If "Cambridge Gulf is the anus of the earth " then what would you call AA????
Have fun in the part banana's boys,
BBP

Hey now,
just because one pilot happens to love practicing rear end arrivals, doesn't reflect on the general quality of person 'coming out' at AA.
As a matter of fact I know several top blokes that have moved on from the AA nursery in the last few years, flying bigger and better gear.
The one example of a bad seed at AA is a function of his personality not his love of biting the pillow.
