Is the current CP KL? If so, perhaps there's nothing more sinister than, it's time to retire.

Apparently he is retiring, so Pearl do need a knew CP. But doesn't Aero Rescue aswell? There should be suitable candidates internally for both positions with specialist experience shouldn't there? So does Pearl come under Airline/GA/Ultralights/Hot Air Balloons or Specialist? I thought it was a GA company with CAO exemptions? There are so many specialists out there! How much are pilots on the Dornier supposed to get for their 150hrs/ year?

Hey Capt Clarry,

Maybe KL wants to return to Perth and enjoy the AMSA retirement prospect. He probably has enough Long Service up to wait for the 328 to commence in Perth. Probably would need this time to readjust to a stress free lifestyle that AMSA may offer?

Wasn't there 3 positions, 2 chief pilots and a director? All from one retirement?

Three jobs for three separate departures. KL is retiring from the CP job at Pearl, CP of AeroRescue is moving back to Pearl (two separate companies under the same umbrella, so to speak), and GM of AeroRescue wanted some more family time.

"Retiring"....maybe forced retirement with the assistance of another party?

Also if you have, quote (two separate companies under the same umbrella, so to speak) ie 1 AOC, how can you have 2 Chief Pilots?

MMmmmm......

ringin, - Pearl and AeroRescue are on separate AOC's, hence the need for separate Chief Pilots. Also, Pearl CP is Darwin based, AeroRescue CP is negotiable with regards location I believe.

So now we know the CP of Pearl is retiring, and good luck to him, but what of AeroRescue's Chief Pilot, why is he leaving the post so early into the new set up?

rove'd, I do not believe they have separate AOC's yet, hence my comment.

All positions are Darwin based, it is Paspaley policy. Centralised.

As for the other CP, maybe its tied in with the other CP problem...maybe.

Did I say problem? Tsk Tsk

Details details...:) AR and PA are not two separate companies....yet. The AOC is in the process of getting approved, hence the requirement for AR to get a Chief Pilot. So that should settle finer points! :ok:

Close, but not quite, they both had CPs, and are both needing one again now

Yes AeroRescue did have a Chief Pilot but technically did not need one as they do not have an AOC. I understand they are going to aquire an AOC in the near future so will need the replace the departing CP.

However they do not seem in a hurry to replace him or they knew who they wanted, but then why advertise?

They will no doubt be advertising for crew for their new 328's and following on from other threads, I wonder if they will be able to attract experienced crew? :ugh:

that will leave paspaley with 3 aocs once ar is approved..
they have one for the Falcon... Pearl International i believe its called. Udd think they would have it under one it make life easy..

No, a simple check on the CASA site will show LLoyd Aviation as the AOC holder for the Falcon and Mallards.

And my info is that the CP thing is far from being resolved, as is their industrial woes!
