Let me guess, the aircraft are no longer at Mt Isa
So can you narrow down the location you require ramp rats ect

This type of task / subject has been done before on PP.

I guess you don't want any qualifications. licences, EPA, workers comp, insurance.

Just the usual lower food chain GA service.

Could it be an example of pilots stooping to a low level to source cheap labour.
Maybe you need to start a cadet scheme in NZ dollars!

So where does
an example of pilots stooping to a low level to source cheap labour
come from?

Can't see any mention of low wages or dodgy conditions .

A company I worked for once, tendered out the cleaning of their aircraft and the winning bid was one of the company pilots and his missus - they are still doing it, two large GA aircraft, once a week, complete clean in and out plus a polish once a month, for $12K / yr.

Company is happy, they are getting a good job done for a reasonable price.

Pilots are happy, their aeroplanes are clean.

Contractor is happy, he is getting a reasonable wage for a job he likes doing.

If it's the aircraft I think it is, would be a good gig for a junior GA driver to set himself up in a nice little earner. In fact, if you don't get a decent bite RyanBoxer, drop me a line

I have seen some companies pay the cleaners more than the majority of the pilots.
