AAHHHH yes, the open day!
From all reports, quite a buzz and energy.
Any feedback from the efforts on the day?
It appears a go-around may have been achieved, first stage of flap up.

I did hear instructors grumbling a little they weren't getting paid for TIF's.
So maybe thats a way to cut costs - dont pay the instructors
SHAME !!!

Sad I know, I wonder if the customers are aware of this? Most of them won't be as they see it as "training" for Jetstar
Not the only place at JT that doesn't pay for TIFs - No that is a lie, maybe you get $10 (if the boss/accounts likes you)

When I worked there I was always paid for TIF's though it was only 0.5 or 1.0hr regardless of what VDO the flight ended up being. Perhaps it was an arrangment for that particular day? Or just general grumbling?

Thanks for the kind words Aeromuz - you clearly dont know sht.
Have a chat with a few of the new Gr 3's and get it from the horses mouth.
A CPL holder with a Gr 3 rating gets paid just how much for a TIF ?????
Once again - looking skywards for strength and resolution......or maye a lightning bolt

Gee I would've done it for free just to get back up there, someone else paying for my flying sounds good for a change
Spend all this money to earn nothing but get to sit in plane for free! Who pays for your rent and food mate?

Sit in a plane for free - exactly. Short sighted and spoling it for the rest of the industry.
Imagine taking a plane to the skies, thru one of the busiest airports in Australia, with unsuspecting public entrusting their loved ones. To take off, fly, maybe even aerobat, and bring them home in one peice.
A proffessional pilot qulaification is required for this, not a GFPT. A quialified Commercail Pilot License that requires time, effort and considerable $$ to acheive.
So tel me again.....why you are so keen to fly for free ??

Of which I have thanks Wiley, I am quite aware of the money I've spent so far.
However, when I haven't flown in a while.. regardless of whether it be a TIF or not, I would like to not pay to fly an aircraft for once.
Bear in mind I am not employed by the industry yet, so this option sounds better than me sitting at home doing nothing.
It is different when normally PAID and EMPLOYED instructors say 'ok I will do it for free', agree? Don't get me wrong, when I do land a job I plan on earning money.
Oh yeh.. almost forgot

No, I don't.....
Watching the managers from a distance sweating on and about their self-created mess .... and sadly uprooting many peoples lives.
Sadly, caused by just a few individuals, who are, even more distraughtingly, some of them still employed there.

Do the managers & ops staff etc come in and do a days work without getting paid?

Nirak haven't you worked out that fellow ppruners don't care for your posts. I seen no reply's to a thread you commenced some time ago.....
Give it rest. If you've nothing substantial to contribute, to discussions or otherwise, then don't.
