Yep that's right "DWD" the 'rufdus' are hiring to take over da world with TWIN engined A/C:-)
Don't 4get the SE section of the 'rufus' have 5 bases & not everyone in Vic Ops wants/could move to another base at the end of contract so positions within cover ALL bases not just the holiday camp we have here
I say to those that have the exp get on board there's no finer institution
Wmk2, I say keep 'em guessing

RFDS job vacancies
Nothing showing here for pilot vacancies...
AFAP "Latest Jobs"
For those that are interested, check this one.
Sumtingwong - you asked if there was anything further... I have to say that no one has yet mentioned the departure of one of the main actors. Those who know, know who I mean. I can't help wondering if this helps or hurts any chance Pearl had of actually having a working King Air fleet beyond June 30th.
Out with the old, in with the new, as they say in the classics.
Can anyone say "Dornier 328"?
CR.

I agree Wally, its a fantastic job, the flying is awesome.
Just don't join the "twin engine circle jerk" crew,,,,, you know who you are.....
(sorry couldn't come up with a Sao joke at such short notice).
My prediction: PC12's all round.

Ah yes "The bang for your buck" factor is how any contract is decided nowadays. What will be the catch phrase when the "bang" gets too big for the "buck" thats paid?

Have had someone much smarter than me explain the single / multi argument for me, as it stands on this forum, its easy really:
1) Accountants run businesses, the PC12 kills everything else financially, repayments, running costs, reliability etc etc. So PC12's it will be, then,
2) One day a PC12 will claim a crew due to the whole single engine thing (hope it doesn't though), the rest of the Dr's and Nurses will no longer fly in these aircraft, problem solved.
I love the PC12, it is far better than any B200 I've flown, PC12 is far safer than a twin engine piston.
But Accountants have decided the PC12 is the aircraft of choice, and no other manufacturers have a competitive product.
Previously worked for a company that did a lot of low level in AC50's, at a management meeting, the company accountant seriously suggested running the AC50 on one engine whilst carrying out this low level flying, you know to cut the fuel consumption in half, average flight 6 hours. This is what has to change.

That would be the same accountant that sits on his ergonomic chair, in his air conditioned office, while using his ergonomically designed office desk that complies with all the OH&S criteria?

I was at Flightsafety in Wichita a few years ago and was presented some interesting statistics (NTSB), each year more people are killed by Multi engine engine failures (VMCA etc etc) than engine failures in single engine aircraft, think what you will.

Hmmmm.... I think people tend to forget that you are twice as likely to suffer an engine failure in a twin.
At least....., factor in fuel system mishandling, and the like, and in reality it may even be a figure of 2.3 or so.
Back on topic a little more, have there been changes in personnel, at a senior level, with the current contract holder ?
I would not be surprised but I am a little distance from the action at the moment.

in the fine print - "The Northern Territory Department of Health and Families has the right to approve all applicants."
is this their way to get rid of some of the current pilots they dont want involved anymore

They must already have a Chief Pilot, as they are not advertising for one...

more likely to have a failure in a twin ey?
Okay two options:
1. you have a failure of your critical engine in a B200 in the middle of a remote area.
2. you have a failure of your only engine in the middle of a remote area
and spare me the gliding thing...id like to see just how many remote communities would light up their strips with 15 mins notice

They certainly are the aircraft going to be used. So they are going to reconfigured to Austarlian medical standards and be registerd by CASA then in Darwin for July 1st. Good Luck.
