Darwin

let me guess..was it Australasian Jet?? I know a good friend of mine who was let go, cause he had a bird strike!!!!!!!

Apparently he was asked to submit a ATSB report, and once he did, they said he put too much information and let him go...

GA's still the same..It was alot better back in the 90's

Said person become a nasty obnoxious drunk with a chip on his shoulder who wanted to fight anyone and everyone until he passed out.

Was that the year when three guys ended up at RDH or the year the ute got run into the streetlight?

Back to the topic..

Does anyone know what kind of AOC difficulties are they encountering... i wouldn't be surprised if CASA bureaucracy would contribute to delays.

A quick search on CASA showed that AV8 Darwin holds an AOC until August 2008. So on face value, they can operate now???

Flyboy2101,

I heard he hit the bird on arrival at his destination, bent the nose gear, didnt tell anyone or get engineers advise, then got pax and flew back with some nose gear retraction problems and the chance of the gear failing on arrival, then lying on the ATSB report, saying the birdstrike occurred when arriving in darwin... so a little difference in facts!

btw i dont work for ausjet, so can't confirm any of the above.

ADAM210,

That AOC doesnt include C210 charter ops. Wonder if he was busted for doing them?

grrrrrr

Carro, you can hardly talk of people lacking FACTUAL information when half of what you posted is bull#@!% anyway.
In typical pprune fashion you have taken the truth and blown it all out of proportion. And then you tell us that you dont even work for Ausjet!....let me guess you heard it from a mate who knows the sister of that refueller in Townsville? weak

BTW the rumour above about AV8 letting all their pilots go has to be BS as well.
Whos flying the planes then? cos last time i checked they dont fly themselves:

Hey Carro,
U doooo talk alot of Bull&@#^. The engineers asked him to come back if he was happy, he came back with the gear down just to be safe, and he wrote on the ATSB form he came back with the gear down.

Few things:
1) Ausjet didnt bother to proof read his form before he submitted it, when he asked them to check it
2) He did NOT lie to the ATSB, he got sacked for writing the truth on the ATSB form, if u ask me thats bull(*&$

Ausjet simply has too many pilots in Darwin and r in financial problems at the moment, they r finding any reason to fire pilots..

I heard the Darwin Base is closing very very soon..mark my words

First there was a man called horse(or is that Honey?) at Ausjet now there is malfunctions everywhere! Wonder if the bills to aircraft owners are being paid? Not one of A****t's favourites.
