Not only DD.
I normally use Internet Explorer and attempting to access the AFAP jobs page results in this
"To access further information on our website, you must be an AFAP member"
If I use Chrome I get the normal page but the last posted job is on 9 June.
Likewise if I use my Iphone or Ipad.
Not sure what is going on, but in the past I have used a couple of their advertisers services as a result of their ad on the page so if the AFAP is attempting to restrict the page to current members, which is fair enough, their advertisers may not be reaching the expected audience.

You guys may want to delete your browsing history, cookies, etc.

Just went onto the AFAP website and looked at jobs without signing on.

No problems, saw the jobs advertised on 25th June.

They must have updated their links. If you use a favourite it only shows up to 9 June. Go back to the main page and clicking pilot jobs should fix it.

Tried all that. No difference.
My computer skills end there.
If anyone has any other suggestions I would appreciate them.
Otherwise no problem if the AFAP is restricting their site to current members as they are perfectly entitled to do although from DIVOSH reply that seems not to be the case.


OK just tried tailz8's suggestion and it works. If I try to go directly to the jobs page it shows jobs up to 9 June. I have been accessing the page via a Google search.

They aren't restricting anything, they just don't do IT very well. This problem happens every couple of years. The only real way to fix things is to close any AFAP pages, clear ALL of your browsing history, cookies etc etc etc, remove any AFAP favourites you might have, then go to the www.afap.org.au main page and click on the Pilot Jobs link.

Current jobs page should be here

Thanks Tailz8 ... and there I was thinking "things are VERY slow at the moment"

For others having the same problem - it is just the link you have bookmarked. The link on the AFAP home page takes you to a different Jobs page, which works fine - update your bookmark.

Forgot to say I've always gone via the main page.

tailsz8 is correct. if you're looking at the old page, it uses 'Active Server Pages' and the last bit of the url is .asp

The newer page has a different url with extra stuff added onto the .asp
I see www.afap.org.au/html/s02_article/article_view.asp?art_id=422&nav_cat_id=127&nav_top_id=73 when I go to the Jobs page from the home page.
