Skydive drop Pilot in India? on afap

Have you guys seen the latest ad on afap for the skydive drop pilot in India. No company name and a yahoo.in email id. NZ$48000 a year which seems like a descent pay. But is the ad is genuine?

Nevermind, for some reason Firefox isn't showing it but IE is!!

I wasn't aware of a drop rating? Is that an Indian thing perhaps? And I didn't think India allowed expats to fly there anymore anyways?

having the same trouble with firefox.

The aircraft is probably ZK registered, hence the need for a kiwi pilot and a drop rating.

Good to see some decent money is being offered, especially if it is a kiwi operator.

Is indeed genuine. Know a guy flying for them in a pretty nice caravan. Need NZPIA Drop Rating and NZ CPL. Not sure if BGT is needed or not.

Me too. Bit of thread drift here but are there any computer geeks out there who can shed some light on this? Firefox hasn't updated since 14 Jan despite refreshing, deleting cookies etc. I'd hate to miss out on all of the good job gossip on the AFAP site...

An Australian CPL holder can easily get a Kiwi CPL under the Trans Tasman agreement.

Tools> Clear Private Data... (Or just press Ctrl+Shift+Del)
Tick Cookies and Cache and leave everything else unticked (Make sure AFAP is closed at the time) - Also you can't untick "download history" - so don't worry about try to
