Well said regarding the struggler definition NWF. Much better job than I could have done.
Definitely a less desirable place to work but we both know that they will always get low hour guys to fly the planes. No matter how bad things get there are always low hour guys willing to work for next to nothing some will even offer to work for free.
I enjoyed my time in the Kimberlies, great memories, great mates, awesome fishing and amazing scenery. Long days, max duty times, flying aircraft that I would not go near now now that I am older and wiser. 90-100hrs a month, fast progression onto twins (not the case down the road at sling).
Used to love sitting out the front of the hangar at the end of a long day beer in hand watching the sunset and chatting to the other lads about their days flying. Watching the last flights just scraping in before sunset. Or the real big days where the boss would put on a whole load of beers and pizza after flying had finished just to say thanks to the crew for a big effort. Cheers to you CM.
Agreed, esp since they employed the services of an ex ex ex CP to spend a few days up there prior to the audit just to make sure everything was squared away. Am sure he would have concealed all the F&D discrepancies. Dont know how though.
Re Gator ...... perhaps they are having trouble getting pilots because the new guys and girls in town are finally waking up to the fact that it's a less than desirable place to work and they are looking elsewhere. I doubt it but it's possible.

My money is on as usual CASA finding nothing wrong with Gator and business as usual.
