Don’t worry, they will get applications. Especially if you can get those “type ratings”, even if they do attract a bond! Let me guess, the bond is the deposit on a 172��

I don't really see the problem with this advertisement? All seems fairly reasonable to me? Beached_az, I'm curious as to which part you think is unreasonable? Aren't they still doing type ratings on each Aircraft in NZ?

Correct.

TBH, that ad looks fairly standard (for the current climate)... I don't understand what the fuss is about?

Well established small operator that no doubt works hard to remain viable. I hope they find the right person that does the right thing by them

The hardship allowance for living at National Park may be paid in the sheep of your choice

If you are already 'type rated' on a C172, what is the training bond for?

I’ve seen far worse...in Australia.

A lot has changed in the last 3 years.

Presumably the training bond is also to cover the 135 operational competency assessment and so forth. Doesn't look unreasonable to me for a small GA operator, especially as in the current climate it isn't unrealistic that a new pilot might jump ship within a month or two to greener pastures.

The add looks pretty standard, depending on what the bond is. However, unless Mountain Air has gotten new owners sometime in the past decade I wouldn’t wish that job upon anyone.

Enjoy mowing the lawns in full uniform during summer ����

Fairly reasonable? I would tend to disagree. I don't have an issue with bonding but they already want you type rated and it a single engine piston.

Always the risk you run when paying minimum wage and getting the lawns mown for free.

ElZilcho,

Did you ever work there? I suspect not. I know a few people who have worked there over the years and they seemed to thoroughly enjoy it. I would think the current owner would be good to work for. Having done similar work a few years ago now, I couldn't think of a better job job for a young guy or girl starting out.

Yes, I have indeed worked for them, hence my comments. Is the flying good? Sure... but you’ll still mow the lawns in uniform, and don’t forget your tie.

-edit-

I should add, my comments are specific to the owners rather than the job. Perhaps it’s been sold since my time and the new climate is much friendlier?

I rather suspect by your statement "specific to the owners" tends to indicate it has indeed been sold since you were there. To my knowledge there is one owner and has been that way for a while now.

Used to be owned by a Husband and Wife, along with the Auckland operation to Great Barrier. Been over a decade since I was there so quite possible that it’s changed hands. Possibly when the Auckland operation changed to FlyMySky?
