Air Pioneer job opportunity?
Does anyone know anything about Air Pioneer? Who they are, what and where they fly etc? There's a job advertised on AFAP but they don't seem to have a website to check out.

Based at Mackay in Queensland. Instructing and charter.
Surprised they have to advertise! Usually plenty of people passing through that get a gig!
PS... I see Bob Harris is also advertising! Doesn't anyone drive north anymore?

@Jethro,
Do you have any evidence to back that up or are you just stirring the pot and spouting a whole lot of stuff and nonsense?
Honestly, if I was to believe everything that's written on this website then the entire aviation industry is just one big con to separate suckers from their money.
And thanks Propduster for the handy link, guy sounds pretty awesome

I've done a couple of renewals with Mike - several years apart.
Great ATO, great bloke.

Mike
I started my craft back in 1975. I was 15 years old and started to fly with Mike Jones in Mackay, Queensland, Australia. I was 18 years old with a brand new Commercial Pilots Licence. Although he, required Instructors, Mike, gave me a job, with the condition that I obtain an Instructors Rating within one year but he would pay $1500 toward my training. (Lot of money in thoes days!)
Many skills were learnt from Mike, also a LAME. I spent many hours in the bush landing on anything from short cattle strips to beaches and International Airports.
That was my start to aviation, I progressed to Instrument Rating then TAA / Australian Airlines.
I am now an expatriate living in Singapore. I have lived here for 22 years, married to a Singaporean, with one daughter.
I am now flying an A330 with Singapore Airlines as a Check and Training Captain. Since I left Aurtralia, I started flying with Tradewinds/SilkAir B737, Singapore Flying College LR45, Singapore Airlines B777.200/300/200ER/300ER, B47.400, B777 and A330.300. I have flown all over the world. Recently, I also clocked 20,000 hours.
I am still trying to learn my craft but I was helped well along the way by a Mr. Mike Jones.

Mike Jones
Hey I could not agree more with afoley. I have some flying time with mike for IFR renewals and would have jumped at the chance to work for him. Will be a loss to the industry when he stops doing his thing.
