Chieftain Drivers NT
Anyone Notice the advert in the AFAP for the Chieftain Drivers somewhere in Darwin, but no company name? Curiosity got the better of me and I sent a email to the only contactable address on the advert. Seems shifty operators still exist in the Top End. Two come to mind Aus*** and the long lost sister Dir***ai*. Here is the reply I got, talk about dangling carrots.
I'm sorry but I am unable to disclose the company name until interview stage. The positions are based in Darwin, and flying operations are run from the Northern GA area of Darwin International airport. We currently have 2 Chieftains and 2 Navajo's and are awaiting arrival of 2 C-310. We also operate a number of single engine aircraft. If you would like to be considered for these roles please forward a CV when possible.
Yours sincerely.
Fat chance of sending a CV to some dodgy operator. I have been there and got shafted, should have known better.

I can gaurentee you won't get shafted with that mob. Why? cause up until last week i worked with them. the only reason i left was to finish my CPL training in Victoria due to the lack of an instructor in Darwin. The guys who are there are all brilliant and great to work with. They will definatly be a very successful charter company in the years to come.

'AussieNick' may not have been working for this mystical crowd in a pilot capacity. He didn't actually mention he was there as a pilot pvt or otherwise. I guess we can expect to see it all these days but one has to wonder why the secrecy?

I imagine that the secrecy is due to the fact that lots of people in aviation (especially those ex. Darwin) have axes to grind which might scare off potential employees.
Good luck with the CPL AussieNick
Its a pity that the Darwin instructor shortage has put you in this situation but its all worth it in the end.

Yep, i was doing desk work, while waiting for an instructor to show up. When that never happened, I decided to move. But like I said, they are a great bunch to work with.
If thats the case best brush up on the forced landing techniques for Chieftains in case you get a "practice" double engine failure on your check flight!!
Just remember red Knobs forward keep the engines running smoother.

That would be AV8 if they own 2 chieftains and 2 Navajo's, the white ones with the yellow and blue trim. AV8 came up here to do flying training, but instead of doing flying training they are only doing charter.
