Looking at the ad for low time VFR single engine pilots in the top end?

If you can go and see what the company and people are like for yourself, it will be worth the trip. That way you can get a pretty good idea of what kind of outfit it is, and if you can see yourself working for them.

A lot of guys & gals take jobs site unseen and then get there and realise this is not for them.

You can ask advice from everyone on Prune, you are going to get some positives and negatives but at the end of the day, your the one that needs to make the decision on what it would be like working for AAA.

Good Luck

I applied for this position but was rejected because i dont have an H' endoresement. good luck to the person who gets this gig i heard they are good people to work for.

[tmpffisch]

I had a little chuckle when I saw the requirement for 'a can do' attitude....we can all read the subtext........

[Manual007]

I don’t think that would be a good attitude in aviation..

[propblast]

So now not only do we need a pilots licence, we need to (I presume) pay for a H endorsement to get a job. Any chance of the company paying for this????

Other than that, run of the mill company for a first job. Should able to crank out a couple of hundred hours over the wet if your the lucky applicants. Jabiru = Boozer, backpackers, supermarket, leisurely 3 hour drive to Darwin on day/s off.

PS: What happend to the twin that they advertised on here as getting when looking for a CP earlier in the year? Paperwork was submitted to CASA if IIRC.

may sound stupid but what is a H endorsement ???

[kalavo]

Hire or reward on your drivers license.

"can do" attitude sounds a'bit "cowboyish" lolll... maybe they are trying to say they want someone with a positive attitude

[Manual007]

Apparently many guys missed out because of small errors in their CV and only 4/170 applicants had H' endorsement on their northern territory drivers licence. These people where the best choice for the job I take it. He wrote up a huge reply and he seemed to be very frustrated at the people who applied for this position. A lot of sarcasm and smart ass remarks. Pretty much taking the piss out of us . Seems like these people where more interested in hiring bus driver rather than a 172 pilot..

haha AAA charter? who cares.They are probably the smallest aviation company in Australia!!!

They have 3 aircraft they are nothing special. There a many more operators out there who have quicker advancement into a twins and turbines. AAA have only single engines... JUST KEEP AT IT MATE you will be fine..

You seem like a good guy I'm sure something will come up soon. Try a company that has twin progression.. Message me anytime if you ever need advice.

Yes because flying twins is the most important thing in the world....

Yes because flying twins is the most important thing in the world....

When you're a GA Pilot with only single time, yes, yes it is

Welcome to the wonderful world of GA. 10-15 years ago that's what about 75% of operators were like. Handing out resumes and the owner's saying he won't give you the keys to his car let alone his aeroplane, people telling you you can't fly (without even taking you for a check flight), why would I give you a job that guy you past on the way out has two logbooks etc etc. Many of them have gone broke or just closed down. Pretty much all of them have a some sort of personality problem and are quite often very small minded arrogant individuals. I still to this day haven't understood why they are in aviation. In most other industries they would eradicated or wound up in court.

Yes because flying twins is the most important thing in the world

Well unless you want to spend your whole life in GA piston singles yes it is the most important thing.

Please post it or at least parts of it here. Would love to see how professional he is.

[j3pipercub]

Wasn't there a guy on Prune who was a CP for someone up there? Or am I thinking Kak Air?

j3

[HappyBandit]

Yeah j3 kakadu bob used to be on here not sure if he still is

[T80]

I would bet that the owner of AAA still goes through this forum so for those of you that got the not so nice rejection emails then tell him on here what you think of him and his use of the english dictionary.

[Stationair8]

Sound like a big time operation, three single engine aeroplanes and a smart arse owner!!

Imagine the check flight!
