Aerorescue Recruiting

I noticed in last weeks Australian that Aerorescue is recruiting again.

I have had a search through all the old threads and several of them are pretty negative.

Does anybody have any more recent info?

Who is the new CP?
Interview process?
When they are looking to fill the positions?
T&Cs, on-call times and locations, etc?

Any info would be very welcome.

Thanks

As has been done in the past, call the base, ask for the CP, or one of the line pilots (base is always manned), and "have a chat."

good luck

Either they are increasing their pilot crewing requirements at an alarming level or they are losing pilots at an alarming level. Gee, hard one to work out eh!

May I suggest you get in touch with the (ex as of Monday) base manager from Melbourne and ask.

But then again if you want the "management" version ring any base and speak to any newbie.

Oh, and of course you can always call the CP. He will tell you the truth.....

That, my friends, is just not possible.

Mr. Fly, PM me and I'll sort you out with some details. Or you could listen to people who don't get what they want and have little tanties because they have the people skills of a gorrilla on LSD. Pittsboy I'll always bite you know me.

You just have to love this, when someone offers information to pilots who are entertaining the thought of applying to, or working for this organisation they are attacked with childish sledges.

Examples:

Whiskey Oscar Golf -
we have let you go happily from what I hear
And dont forget this little classic:

Whiskey oscar Golf -
Or you could listen to people who don't get what they want and have little tanties because they have the people skills of a gorrilla on LSD
Now I would have thought that when a person is seeking information on a potential employer then any information would be beneficial to them. Yes there are always going to be positives and negatives, and people have different experiences and will reflect on them accordingly. But you really have to ask why would some people resort to childish and personal attacks on an individual because they have an opinion, or because they choose to leave an organisation for what they may consider important issues.

When an organisation has been established for some time, there will be a variety of opinions and they are valuable (good or bad) when making a career decision.

Much better for an individual to make a balanced decision on all of the information available and have some insight to the position they are considering. Even the posts that are placed on here may provide an insight as to the type of people that could be within an organisation and what to expect when you arrive.

It is fine to have a strong loyalty to your employer and this should be commended, but the reverse side is you may not be listening or not be prepared to listen to what other people with significant expertise are saying.

Makes you think dosn't it!

Well said splatman, couldn't agree more!!

Just because people have differing opinions about a company, as an employee, doesn't mean all sides points of view shouldn't be listened to. How else can someone make up their mind whether that company could be worth working for.

SemperFly if you want another opinion about said company you could always pm me and I promise to answer your Qs honestly and from a 'pilots' point of view.

Mr Sarcs and Splatman, yes my response was childish and attacked the negative posters, you may not have seen all the posts before they were deleted ! My reasons are fairly simple in the fact there are individuals who are working very hard to discredit the company. Now I won't go into the reasons as to why they are doing this because it's a public forum and they have personal reasons, these reasons may not be related to the companies performance.It's frustrating to say the least. I spoke to one of the posters I went hard on about their posts and we had a nice chat about issues and appropriate style.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but if you're pushing an agenda for your own reasons rather than the common good, then maybe you should expect some childish retort.

Sarcs how about you PM me or if you know who I am, which you seem to, give me a call and we'll talk about the "pilot's" perspective?

So let me get this right, because a person has an opinion that is different to yours, they deserve the "childish retorts" and personal attacks you want to dish out.

As for agendas and your claim there are people working very hard to discredit the company, this may be the case and there may be agendas or they may be well intentioned individuals who are trying to provide pilots looking for career options with sound advice as to their experiences with the said organisation.

The down side in not getting the complete picture and relavent information is that it can be very costly for everyone concerned in a multitude of areas, financially, personally and career wise.

Now I ask you - If you were a pilot who had invested over 100K and 20 years in developing their career, wouldn't you want ALL the information prior to making a decision.

Certainly put your point of view out there, but why slag off other people who put theres out there too.

By the way, may I suggest you make it clear whether you are commenting from a back end perspective or flight crew.

Mr WOG
no need to take it all so personally, it is just a company and if they don't do it someone else will.
opinions are like assholes, everyone has one.

Smile Touche' Splatman.

It's a bit like sales. For every 1 compliment there's about 10 sledges....

See you next week

Be gentle

Mr. Splatman, yes I am speaking from a back end perspective, with more than 10,000 hrs working in about 14 different aircraft types on 3 continents for 11 years, sitting next to about 150 pilots, maybe even you?, safe in the knowledge my PPL just won't cut it. From working with Ag pilots at 66ft to you high flyers at 25,000ft. Because I'm not up front does that mean I have no idea of conditions? Or is my opinion less valid?

As I said earlier you are entitled to your opinion, but if your opinion is intended to destroy and further your own aims as opposed to giving valid, useful information to any future employees, thats a two way street by the way, then I have a right to retort in kind. I could tell the truth but I'm not into hurting people proffessionally. Did you see the posts before they were deleted? It's not about them disagreeing with me it's about the method and intent.

I agree it's a big call to change jobs and all information is important. When making that call you should think about where you want to be in 2 months time, because you are making a commitment and it costs you if you are unhappy or not suited to the job. You should be able to get all information however tainted. One can be critical without being hostile and it's the hostility I'm responding to. I know, I know violence begats violence.

Bird, I will take it personally, it's cultural, when people are critical of my proffesionalism then I get a bit vengeful, it's childish I know. It gets worse when you can't tell the full story. Either way Aerorescue is a good company to work for who are safe and do good things.

Can't we all just get along?

Seriously though, thanks to everyone who replied, with both positive and negative comments.

Cheers,
SF

Your perception and opinions of conditions for a pilot are exactly that "perceptions and opinions" because you are not directly subject to them.

Why not allow the pilots to provide their thoughts and feedback to others?

Why indulge in childish retorts?

Your missing my point, as a back ender you may not and I am positive you do not understand all of the issues that would be significant to a flight crew member. Training that develops understanding of systems and procedures together with ability to safely and professionally utilise advanced technology like RNAV systems are some to name a few.

"Load the approach and establish a track direct to the IAF on 155 Radial and the 10DME Arc would you." - "OK - but what are these waypoints D180J, D155J and D130J?".

Ignorance is Bliss and I am out of this debate!


Jarse

It will be a pleasure and I will look forward to it.

Great to see you back on Line!
