What's the go with Renaissance (refer to post #10). Has anybody heard anything other than "thanks for your interest, we'll get back to you"?

Yes it was tougher after the war flying with these guys who had been shot at and whatever!
Things only loosened up in the very early seventies when the increased fleets of jets with TAA and Ansett required intakes of pilots in the multiple numbers.
Too many failing on the course could be identified as a failure of the trainer.
Before that employment was sparse and sporadic. Sink or swim.

FourBalls raises a good point.
Several years ago I needed to supplement my then casual GA wage with some cash earned in the mining industry. One of the hardest jobs I experienced was working with a mill reline crew during a shut down...bring back any memories Wiz ?
...a few weeks of that and you had a whole new outlook on life.
A 700nm round trip in a '****box' 210, in the middle of summer, with a load of 'bronzed anzacs' onboard just didn't seem that big a deal anymore.

Two posts already and in one you bag a guy for living in Darwin and in the other you bag all the old timers.

FRQ CB,
I have got the same email reply to my CV from Renaissance. I don’t know much about them either I asked around and no one had really heard of them. I have way over there minima's so one would think maybe even a phone interview. But who knows with the aviation game I have only been in it for 3 or so years and its more who you know then what you know. I have never cracked a job with someone I didn’t know personally or through someone else.
the joys of aviation..........................: ugh:

PS: If anyone runs into a 19 year old pilot in Broome, please give him a slap on the head from me, just in case!

Yeah.......... bad memories. Then when its all said and done, all the blokes sleeping on the way home from Broken hill or where ever while we still had to fly home. Haven't flown a 337 since........... and sort of glad about that.
