Probably not what you want to hear but Skippers is on the way out, big news coming in the near future There are other companies in Perth looking for drivers of all types. Sugest you do a search. Tick tock tick tock................. |
Yes it's true.
Yes, you can drive a Metro without an ATPL. Casa has given some
operators exemptions for drivers of Metro's not to have an ATPL. I'm sure there are some restrictions to what type of work they can do but it is true. One guy is 20yrs old! I wouldn't like that sort of responsibilty at that age and level of experience. Is that rational old age talking? Cheers |
If they do have PIC's of Metro 23 as CPL holders and ex-Cadets at the ripe ole age of 20, I hope they go bust before the other thing occurs that many fear.
It could make Jundee look like a dress rehearsal and Lockhart River could have a sister town somewhere. Incidently I find it hard to believe that less than a year ago the incident at Jundee occured, and CASA would issue an exemption to operate an above 5700kg aircraft by inexperienced pilots and CPL holders as the PIC ( not ICUS ) under the IFR. Very sad. |
I’m not aware of any Metro 23 captains at skippers without a current ATPL. Correct me if I’m wrong!

Strewth? Nah.
Mecarsa Bitrusty,
I really hope that you're taking the piss because whoa, I thought that the sarcasm was quite clear. Of course I don't REALLY know a friggin' teenage Student Pilot Licence holder flying a bloomin' Metro around; it was an (apparently) poor attempt at humour to highlight the current sorry state of affairs in several regional 'airlines' hiring processes. Take the old joke about cockpit automation for example, do you REALLY think that an airline is going to replace an FO with a dog to bite the pilot's hand if he tries to touch anything? (I can almost hear the cries of the zealous young men with the Jet Pilot stickers across the backs of their car windows at Bankstown, Jandakot, Maroochy etc keen to get into an airline cockpit no matter what they spend their parents' money on: "Strewth? Dog's in the cockpit ey! Mummy, Daddy, can I borrow $35,000 for a Canine Rating?" Here's where I wish I could sign off like old Gaylord with a nice: "Fokker - Out" instead you'll have to settle for a simple: FRQ CB:ok: |
Surely I thought that I would have elicited a response. C'est la vie.
