Cobham 717

Could someone in the know please advise how Cobham recoup the cost of endorsements for the 717.

Do you get bonded for a period of time or do you pay up front ?

I hope not Bloggs as there's enough movement in the ranks that we can't access (such as in Air NZ) back in the 9th State...

Cobham B717

Any Cobham pilots out there who can give some info about this job, schedules, QOL, morale, bases, etc?

I see they are advertising for capts and f/o's

thanks

Australia's only got 6 states. NZ would make seven if you're speaking in jest.....

Ok then GG, "6 States & 2 Territories" = 8 plus NZ would make = 9
(not accounting for Norfolk Island who recently succeeded to Aust Governance as a "Territory" due to bankruptcy.)

Now back to the ball game... B717 & Cobham...

Also some more trivia, the commonwealth star on the Australian flag has seven points. 6 representing the states, and the 7th representing states in the future (such as the open invite to NZ, or the promise of statehood to the territories).

One could also consider the Antarctic territory and remote islands as territories as well.

They are not part of the mainland & continental shelf.

They are excluded when making reference to Australia and it's territories. They are however called Australian external territories and the Australian Antarctic Territory.

The AD was in Flight Magazine! WTF!

Are there no pilots left in Australia to fill these positions?

Hi All, has anyone applied for the 717 positions recently advertised? If so have you heard back from them. I see the positions are no longer advertised on there website.

Your right Pilotshumornetwork, the position was indicated as 'closed' on their website. It is now open again. I hear they are still going through the applications.
