Sapl won't ask you, they won't bother. Why would they when they have plenty of applicants who have current mecir's!
Somehow I don't think the next dry season is going to be very busy. No doubt a lot less fritz's coming from cash strapped Europe. Not to mention the yanks.
$40k, full time. I think you'll be lucky to get a job in these times. The 1000hrs will help though. Good luck.

Hey maybe it's a long shot, but if he meets the requirements then why not try?

My point isn't why not have a go. Good on him for trying. My point is that he is very unlikely to get past the application stage without a current instrument rating.
As for how many want to live in Broome, must be at least half a dozen who had interviews a couple of weeks back for FO positions. They would have been the short-listed ones of course.

If they've had recent interviews for FOs then it's probably too late, I haven't kept myself in the loop lately.

The only outfit know paying 40K + up that way on a SE Piston is Golden Eagle on the 206, although thats out of Derby. They Pay the Basic Award + 10K, so around $43K-ish, up to about $54K on the Cheiftain.
A lot of people dont like it at the budgie tho...as so many posts on here show :-P

Could you divulge what the disquieting things might be?
The video is pretty accurate speaking from a line drivers perspective, used to work in airlines and this one of the best jobs around in my opinion. Definitely feel like you are doing something of real value, pay is not too shabby either. Good balance of work/leisure.
heard a few disquieting things too about SA so ask around a lot more before blindly thinking that their little vid promo is all lovey dovey within.

I have about 450 TT, with a ME-CIR under my belt. I've done about 150hrs flying a 172, mustering on a cattle station in the N.T over the last wet season. I'm looking to get some work in Broome and/or Darwin. Am I setting my sights too high? Can any one make any suggestions as to where else I should look? Cheers

JRMBB, No the experience you've got is good. However not everyone will crack it straight into DRW or BRM ect. What you need to do is get a list of say 10 operators that you update regularly with. Get to know them, drop them a line give them a call and when you have a spare weekend try and go shake there hand. As hard as it sounds don't quit your job until you've secured the next one.
'WynSock' lets just say that this is a rumor file & that going into details on a public site about the pros & cons of any business in detail would have the Mods up in arms. Put it this way if the SAPL job was that good as portrayed by the promo vid then why would anyone leave? It's not as if that place is a breeding ground for gringo's to get a few multi crew twins hrs then move onto the 'bus' jobs. It's a bit like the RFDS it's a job for life(well was once so to speak) & you would need to have a desire to work in that field, not just use them as a quick step to somewhere else. At the end of the day WynSock it's personal choice, after being to one of their road shows with lots of promises & speaking to someone whom used to work for them I'd say just as a personal opinion that's it's not for everyone or is what it's cracked up to be.
Research any job first & make a decisons on what YOU believe.

Hahaha, which one!? There used to be a couple of bongos and the way the budgie goes through pilots...
I mean you don't use all the bull**** radio calls in the Kimberley such as you are taught in flying school (and the guys that do stop pretty quickly) else the whole CTAF is blocked by a 210 at MIP. But you do at least call 15 mile/joining and short final etc, so often she would cruise into doongan or drysdale without a single call, drysdale is pretty busy during the dry especially when you're flying tight as seems to be the Kimberely way (you soon stop this habit once leaving however) nothing more off putting when your on a tight base and a Bongo silently breezes past you on final
Ill have a moan again about the Broome club and excess use of the radio, 150 mile inbound calls in a 210 to MIP is a classic example!
