I was once talking with someone who used to work for one of those companies; they said the number of people (passengers that is) who bitched about the poor treatment they received from the other was constant; these pax had got so frustrated with the other company that they switched and flew with the other from then on, even when it wasn't totally convenient or cheaper, as a matter of principle. (Apparently this was mainly on the Geraldton run... here's a hint: they weren't bitching about the one that doesn't fly there any more!! :E)

It would be interesting to get a view from CC from both camps; alas with flying different types and 'styles', I daresay it would be difficult to get a 'fair' comparison... all airlines have their faults, and all of us fcukup from time to time... perhaps things are different on the more 'rural' routes... but as I said earlier, things can't be fixed if the person responsible for fixing 'em doesn't know they're broke!!! :}

Back to the topic the original poster raised, I do believe you may have just missed the boat wrt them (Skippers) hiring... IIRC they've got some more a/c recently (as did Network and Maroomba) so I'd guess that they're done hiring for the time being...

I figure anything that has a hostie (one that isn't the F/O, that is) on its aircraft can call itself an airline!!! ;)

Still recruiting.
 

LOCKNUT. New information to hand, apparently they have interviews this week.

Thanks for the info guys, much appreciated:ok:

Brasilian Bird, I think you might be right. Need a bit over the minimum requirements...:=

Skipper's are advertising at least once a month in The Australian Aviation section. I thought everyone was trying to get OUT of Skippers?

Maybe so but this little black duck hasn't got any multi crew time and has found that skippers are one of the only company's that will take on inexperienced pilots...

Keify's done himself a mischief...
