Multi Jobs in Karratha
Rumour has it, that Auswest Airlines are looking for several Pilots for a new contract.
Requirements are: 2000hrs total, 1500hrs pic, 500hrs multi command, 100hrs on type (Baron/Navajo), 3 Renewals. But I believe close enough maybe good enough.
Pay will be above award and good conditions.
If anyone is interested send resume to [email protected]

Troopy,
Thats a bit steep, last I heard the CP didnt even have that...
You forgot to mention they have taken people with less than 1500 hrs, zero multi command, bare endorsements, straight out CIR with no night time.
What about the other requirements and conditions..like multi NVFR, mining health and safety course, mining 4wd course, dangerous goods, 6 weeks on and forced 2 weeks off, and a pay of about 25k per year for ME instrument pilot working some of the hardest shifts about.
And the ability to do endless paperwork....
And the ability wash and clean aircraft that needed paint jobs 10 years ago....
Someone mention buying your own uniform ?
Paying for your own CIR renewals ?
What about when they send you down to Perth for maintenance having to pay for your own accomodation, meals, and transport ?
With "2000hrs total, 1500hrs pic, 500hrs multi command, 100hrs on type (Baron/Navajo), 3 Renewals" get a job with a real turbine RPT operator, that pays you the conditions your worth.
Jerry ... Jerry ... Jerry ... Jerry ... Jerry ... Jerry ... Jerry ...
P.S. where is that thread Topic: Illegal Practices in Australian Aviation.

WARNING to anyone considering employment with Aus West. The man running the show "Jerry" has been known to F#!K many pilots around.
Question for Jerry - who wants to fly clapped out twins with the experience you are asking for? and get paid 25k?
Wake up Jerry.

Just been looking at the Pilot Industrial Awards thread as Troopy said
The base rate Fixed Wing Multi engine $35,116.00
"As a permanent employee you also get other conditions such as 6 weeks (42 days) annual leave, Payment up to $1000.00 to purchase Loss of Licence insurance, meal allowances, sick leave etc."
Are they now paying proper sick, accident, meal, night, accomodation, and transport allowances ?
Are pilot rest periods in accordance with the award ?
Troopy .. that email address is bouncing ...will [email protected] do as a substitue ?
Pay will be above award and good conditions.

anyone even giving a job with Ausworst a thought, get it out of your mind right away!
if you do you'll fly busted up, pilot maintained aircraft and also put up with 2 A4 pages full of snags while it waits for its 100 hrly, oh sorry 125 hrly. also don't plan anything on your holidays cos it'll change 3 or 4 times to suit Ausworst. before you even can submit a resume make sure you get all the useless mining inductions and 4WD courses done, aircraft endorsements, flight to karratha for an interview, uniform...but you're not guarenteed a job yet. if you're very fortunate enough to get a karratha basing, you'll spend your day washing planes, doing moutains of paper work and getting abused for probably 4 hours/week flying.
from what i've also heard the CP has about 150 multi-command and can't do line checks.
award pay? yeh right.
what goes around comes around

Just read the "selection process" for these appointments and almost fell off my chair laughing. Some spanner has cut and paste most of the selection criteria from the Qantas Webpage. It makes for a very funny read!!!!!!!!!!!
10/10 for entertainment. Well done Aus West.
What does the Interview phase involve?
The interview will be of approximately 1 hour duration. Interviewers have complete discretion to vary the length of the interview and the time taken should not be interpreted as an indication of the candidate\'s performance
What does the Simulator Flight Assessment involve?
The primary aim of the Simulator Flight Assessment is to evaluate instrument flying skills, spatial orientation and manipulative abilities.
The Assessment will be conducted in a B58 simulator. The simulated flight will take place within the Karratha terminal area. There is no radio work required and no assymetric flying.
The Check Captain not provide monitoring or assistance during the instrument flying exercises or approaches, so the assessment will be a single pilot operation.
Where do I have to go for the assessments?
All assessments are conducted at the Aus West Airlines training facility at Dampier WA.
What happens after the assessment?
Assessment results cannot be discussed with the candidate on the day of assessment. Each candidate will be contacted by letter, fax, phone or e-mail as appropriate within 1 weeks of assessment.

Hang in there Jerry. As someone who's done the "hard yards", I fully understand how hard it is to make a go of it in GA these days with young pilots needing the experience you are offering before moving on. I was one of those pilots. Sure, no one wants to or is going to stay there forever. It seems so easy though, for some of these little upstarts to sit there and **** can someone who is going to give them all the experience they need in 2 short years (at the most), to go on for the rest of their days sitting up in a big jet, earning megabucks. So, upstarts, stop the whinging, show some respect for your employer, take some pride in making yourself a better person/pilot, learn from the experience and get over it. You won't be there long and YOU for one will be a lot better off.

whosyourdaddy,
An employer is not....
The experience you gain is the result of you slogging your guts out, offering your SERVICES and SKILL to an employer.
Companies don't exist to provide experience to pilots, and it sh1ts me to tears when you have to listen to that sort of crap - without the pilots, there would be no company.
Don't ever listen to a CP or owner of a company saying "without me you wouldn't get the experience you need for QF, Virgin" or whatever. Without you, he would not be in business!

EVERYBODY STOP NOW AND READ WHAT TL JUST WROTE!
TL, that's right up there for "Best post in D&G" IMHO. If only we could get it out to the masses, and make them understand it's the truth.
Anyone who disagrees with it, I hereby invite you to explain why...
Especially interested to hear from employers who masquerade as a young pilot's best friend, with the power to "offer experience", while jacking them up the #$% and profiteering off it all the while.
CR...

JSM and transition, when you do eventually make it, and I'm sure you will, you will probably understand what I'm saying. That's correct, without the pilots there's no company, and without the company there is NO pilot's. Welcome to GA. Hasn't been different in 30 years and unlikely to change. Jerry would have seen another dozen come and go in the time it takes you to do your next ground school. All probably ready to get on here and **** can him as well. Two years boys.... That's all. xx

Ok, usually I’m quiet on these forums but I’m getting tired of listening/reading some of the crap that comes out on these pages.
I’ve “made it” in a number of industries, some of which I’d say require more dedication and commitment than scoring a GA job, and I’m quite sure I could "make it" in Aviation as well. I like the saying … there are many competitors lined up on the blocks but not much competition. Especially when some of them are too busy backstabbing eachother.
So I do understand what your saying … your saying let employers bend you over and have their own way with you because they are giving you a job, and you should respect them for that and maybe one day you’ll move onto something else.
That's correct, without the pilots there's no company, and without the company there is NO pilot's. Welcome to GA.
That “welcome to GA” sounds a lot like “welcome to the real world” … which is one of my most hated sayings because usually the people saying it are actually living in their own little world quite different to everybody else’s reality.
From your previous post …
So, upstarts, stop the whinging, show some respect for your employer, take some pride in making yourself a better person/pilot, learn from the experience and get over it.
Treat them like crap and how do you think they are going treat your business?
/end rant
Let me just make it clear I have no idea who Auswest Airlines are or who Jerry is or what either of them do, this post is purely my opinion and is directed at whosyourdaddy.
