Crown Casino

Hi all, tried trolling through forums and threads but wasn't able to find much info. I'm hoping someone out there can tell me who operates the Crown Casino jets?

Many thanks!!

What I wouldn't give to use the callsign "Triple Charlie" (Crown Casino Corporation for those wondering what I am on about)

Closely followed by TGG (The Good Guys)

I would very much appreciate information on the Crown operation if anyone would be kind enough to share it. Information on the personnel, chief pilot etc. PM me if you could. Thanks in advance

Trust me ya wouldn't want that job, you have no life!
Many years ago I knew most of them there with the original CCC great bunch of guys some real characters but they where never home & when they where home they where always at the ready to not be home, too many homes there

Trouble with 2day's modern corporate jets, they simple stay aloft way too long

Ill second what Wally said, I knew a guy that used to fly for them, very much a burnout job according to him.

I wonder if the high rollers are allowed to smoke aboard the Crown Casino jets? Surely not much fun for a non smoking crew on such long trips..

What a downright depressing reason for getting out of bed and going flying - no thanks. Gambling destroys lives.

perspective

Who cares why you go flying, I dont care of the pax/cargo in the back I just want to fly and if i'm going around the world doing that i'm not complaining. And you say gambling destroys lives maybe but it also supplies millions of jobs and infrastructure and money to the economy. Money that those employees use to live and pay for school for their kids and the list can go on... so you could also say it creates/saves lives.

From what I've been told (second hand), the guys are for ever on standby, and when they do go flying, they have no idea when it is they will come home.

You might be on "standby" for days/weeks in a hotel somewhere... not a great deal of flying.

How many pilots do they have? Is M Cooper still the chief pilot.

I'd put aside the social aspects of gambling in this scenario as they are generally flying in gamblers from Asian countries that are propping up our economy and subsidising the cost of my meal when I eat out at Crown.

I hope to hell that was tongue in cheek otherwise you will soon be out of a job whether it is flying mum and dad on a scenic or high rollers on a flight to Melbourne. Especially the latter where customer service comes very high on the list.
