Sounds about right

The Braz service doing Gero Carnarvon and Paraburdoo has been replaced by Shine Aviation in a 1900D, ouch !

As the former AIPA President is yet to turn the first sod of earth on the Qantas Academy that will turn out 500 pilots a year, salvation for the industry is a way off.

In the interim it is not so much a pilot shortage, rather a remuneration shortage.

I'm still trying to figure out who is going to teach these 500 students a year? The recent ads on afap are asking for a 3 year commitment as an instructor at the academy.. Maybe if they dangle the carrot of a job at the end of a 3 year commitment they'll be able to persuade their own students into becoming instructors but that would take years to become a well-oiled machine..

Anyone applied for the recent job listing? Thinking of sending in a CV at some point this year, wondering what the process Is like these days
