Merged: Smartair - Albury
Hi,
Just after some info on this company as far as type of work, standard of aircraft and general attitudes of the staff/owners? I have spoken with them in the past, checked their website, etc, so am more interested in any personal experiences and opinions.
I am an older guy and am interested in taking the wife and family to a place that we can settle and stay for a long time. We have always liked Albury and the surrounding area. Do they get much charter or instructional work or is it mainly a maintenance base with a few aircraft attached?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Salary or Casual Smartair Albury
Hi Just curious as I have applied for a job with Smartair in Albury and really would love to work for them (and be closer to family) but does anyone know whether the instructors there are getting paid a salary (perm full time
) or casual (pay per hour of flying 
).. Currently at Moorabbin since 2008 full time but 3 weeks after my wife gave birth to our 2nd child I got called into the office and was told i was now going onto caual rates 
togther with a few other instructors.. And so since Feb 2010 its been that casual that I have had no flights $zero income coming in for 3 months NOT GOOD 
. Have heard only great things about Smartair 
.. And should i fly up and introduce myself??? Or would that be a little too pushy?? Or just sit back and wait.. its the waiting i cant stand....

I've done all my training with Smartair at Bx and am about to start IREX with them at BX. I now know most of the staff personally and find them easy to work with and very knowledgeable.
<bias alert> I enjoyed working with them so much that my aircraft is on line with them at Bx for advanced training (CPL, IFR, CSU Retract etc) <bias alert/>
