Ducking for cover here but is this not PC over the top?
Or is there a condition that would mean one could not read this but still hold a class 1?
Yes pay seems a little low, however 6 weeks leave plus 4 mandatory rest days per year???
It is a gubment job to there are certain benefits.
However advertising to create a hold pool if you read it all.........

You guys are on drugs!
15.4% super, 6 weeks annual leave with a flexible roster.
Job security is all but guaranteed.
Is that not better then most other turbo prop jobs??
What is REX & QLink etc paying?
The surprise for me is no ATPL requirement for the 350 nor 2 crew

74k to fly a King Air about at all hours of the day and night? And you get to live in Canberra? I wonder if the flexibility is 2 way?
15.4% of 74k is still pretty low.
87k is nowhere near as good as other Turboprop jobs, the top tier of 87k here is pretty close or even below the lowest tier of RFDS and they’re struggling for pilots.
And job security is not guaranteed, a change in Government and cutbacks, and you may also find yourself out of work.

Gee that's an appalling salary! Careflight are seeking Beech drivers and they offer $133K!
plenty of Guvmit admin positions would get similar and no shift work no medical no check & training! Kinda shows a pilot position is really more a trade than a professional position at that rate! YSCB would be the pits!
be interesting to see how many applied?

machtuk - most tradies I know are earning twice that figure. They're dreaming if they think anyone suitably qualified and experienced will sign on for that pittance. Amazes me how these organisations still keep trying it on though.

A privately operated B350 only requires a CPL as a minimum. (the Mass of the aircraft has nothing to do with S/P Ops)
All Beech turbo props assuming the minimum equipment for SP Ops is fitted can be flown single pilot. (fact!) Seating numbers may be limited for Charter Ops or RPT in S/P Ops
Salary on offer?, about one half of what the position is worth. + super + 6 weeks leave as a minimum. Canberra loading would be a good idea, along with rent/housing assistance.
