You're not wrong LeadSled, the Global Express doesn't quite hold its resale like the venerable Holden Statesman.

I look forward to Harold Mitchell's next article in the Sydney Morning Herald.

(He's apparently currently overseas and supposedly didn't respond to a Fairfax Media enquiry.)

"This was a plane that was no longer being used. It was quite an old aircraft," said Crown's chief number cruncher Ken Barton.

Harold's right-hand man, Greg Solomon assured CBD "Mr Mitchell is not buying a plane for private use."

Reckon the shareholders should be asking some hard questions and peeling back some layers!

What ? Surely he isn't still going about in the old 414 ? Chauffeured him hither and thither on a number of occasions many years ago in the old bus. A pleasant enough aeroplane to fly.

Two posts here with the word "Barnaby" got deleted over the weekend.

It appears you cant say "Barnaby" or "doing a Barnaby" on the Crown Casino thread!

I wonder why that is considering he was deputy leader and a public figure. And HE was man enough to fall on his sword!
Personally, though, I think he had it coming after that silly performance over Captain Jacks dogs.

So....after all the discussion about the use of Triple in a callsign, the original question got lost.
FO jobs have just been advertised and I'm wondering what the pay and conditions are like?
Anyone able to answer that question?

I've had a chat with then a while ago. This is second hand information so may be unreliable.

Apparently the pay is great. The clients usually smoke in the aircraft all the way to their destination in Asia. You could have 3 or 4 flight plans in and never really know where you'll be going or for how long. Hard to make plans for your days off because the schedule can be dynamic.

That about sums it up perfectly, it's not a glamorous job at all despite what most think! You don't have a life in corporate aviation, you are not meant to have one !

Thanks for the replies. Any ideas of flying hours per annum? Days away per month? And approx pay?
