Ironic that the native mandarin speaker's pronunciation of R can make it sound like L....I have heard, so I guess it'd be good if you spoke mandarin too.

Just so there's no missunderstandings.

More to the point, what are the tips like? once upon a time, a long, long time ago I used to fly trainers, jockeys and punters around UK and Europe, never got a brass farthing from the trainers and jockeys, even when they had a winner but the punters were always good for a nice big note

My understanding is that it is illegal for casino employees to accept tips.

fl610,

It depends on the casino. I've worked for two casinos and they allowed us to accept tips. Not sure if your understanding is due to the ATO unable to track extra income, or whether it's a Federal/State law...

I use to work in a casino, the people who had state govt licenses eg dealers and supervisors were unable to accept tips by law. Unlicensed employees (waiters bartenders etc) were free to accept tips. I assume pilots would be allowed to since a pilot can’t be accused of helping a gambler beat the house.

Doubt pilots would get many. Is a Chinese whale going to go up front and give the pilot 10k?

Don't know, I was a charter pilot at the time. All tips very welcome, they paid the rent sometimes.

A mate of a mate just told me that the place is just not the same after the big "fondue" incident of 2015.

I have no idea what he meant but it didn't sound good!

Ramble my sauces (pun intended) tell me that it was ‘fondant ‘

Also heard that there have been five Chief Pilots, three Chief Engineers and twenty plus resignations in the last few years!

Looks like it’s Woolies for me.

No idea, however they have three aircraft and presuming that they have two crews per aircraft (unlikely being corporate in Australia ) that is still a very high turnover............. of course this is assuming that the rumours are true.

High turnover of staff you are suggesting......? Hang on I'd better check....

Google: "What causes a high turnover of staff?" Top Answer:
While some turnover can be expected, poor management can cause the normal turnover to climb to an excessive level. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, turnover can cost an organization 33 percent of an employee's total compensation, including wages and benefits.

Google: "How does Poor Management Cause Staff Turnover?": Top Answer:
There are several ways poor management affects turnover rates in a small business. Managers who operate like dictators, refusing to take other people's opinions into consideration, run off good employees. Companies who do not have 360-degree feedback tools, or performance reviews that ..." etc

Who'd have thunk it? Eager dictators who would like to put everyone up against the wall?? I don't believe it!
