AFAP jobs - Darwin
Anyone heard anything about the ad posted 15 April 2013 describing a non-flying position for $45 per hour? That incredible pay rate combined with the dodgy yahoo email address makes this commercial pilot think it's total male cow droppings.
Wasn't there a spate of surveys disguised as job applications a while back?

Does it actually surprise you there are much better paying jobs than flying aircraft these days?

There is a reason for that pay rate. It's so expensive to live in that ****hole you need every dollar you can get to make ends meet. It would be interesting to know what the working hours are? I'd rather be home every day by 6pm and $45hr than overnight in Donga somewhere east of arnhemland and fixed salary.

Pretty sure the job is mostly night work, hence the pay rate. Seems like a good gig, one guy I know was talking of taking leave without pay from his flying job just to get his dollars up for a while!

So, has anyone figured out if this was genuine or not? Did anyone apply or get the job?
I notice that AFAP has pulled the ad so perhaps it was a dodgy one?
Why bother placing dodgy ads for non-existent (if was) jobs anyway?

Job advert was legit. Since the pay would have attracted a few pilots its funny how many question it as genuine or not.
Work was day shift, home each night. Starts in a few weeks.
$45/hr doing 38-40hr weeks plus overtime. Pretty standard arrangement for the job. Most ARO/WSO willing to travel can start off on $80k/yr.
