Stop saying poached. It gives the impression that something illegal has happened. Leaving an employer for a better offer isn't against the law.

That’s a rather ominous looking post... Are they owned aircraft? Looking at a fleet like that reminds you how Aussie GA has not moved forward in 20 years! |

Was this the Auction before they headed to Air Frontier?

Anything to substantiate the rumour?
i suppose being recruited by an airline is more satisfactory than a CP staying a week and then resigning ostensibly because of how “G” treats his staff, “G” then attempting to explain this away as sacking said CP as incompetent. But that’s none of my business |
Funny I used to work for Eire Fronteaur 14 years ago and exactly the same rumours about rumours were on Pprune then and probably word for word. For some reason the little fella just keeps on rockin' ? Why ?
He's ticked the boxes for success in GA, ie., he's an engineer who owns his own aircraft and gets revenue from single engine remote bases that don't cost anything. A lot of others have fallen by the wayside, and I think by now he's figured out how to do it properly-like. His pet hate is pilots who whine about having to get stuff done by themselves while all he ever does is put up the money, the aircraft and the AOC and other trivial crap like that. Say what you like about him - no one's perfect and some people are just out there - but he's there for as long as he wants. |

He hates pilots he has to pay a wage to. Even the ones who don't whine and jusy get things done. And there were plenty of them who passed through the Tee-Pee Hut over the last 20 years. As for, "putting up the money for an AOC, aircraft and other trivial crap like that", do we include fuel in trivial crap?? It's called running a business you half wit. A companies workforce retention, (not detention), is a direct reflection of the company and how it is run. He survives because he is a bottom feeder. There is successful one in every industry. You even contradict your argument by stating, "gets revenue from single engine remote bases that don't cost anything.". |

I tell you what if it’s so simple why don’t you try it. Every one is an arm chair expert, put the money up, deal with CASA, get an AOC, employ staff, he deserves a medal not the crap that’s put up here. |

I never said it was easy, I said it is the cost of doing business. So everyone on here makes up crap just to dump on poor little Jeff, and none of it has any substance? Your a half wit too. I worked for him, I didn't whinge. I kept mouth shut and did the job. He made his money because of the pilots that slaved for him. The "crap" that is on here, some of it is being polite. He will have some net worth = to the risk and effort put in buying from the guy that went broke (forget his name) but set up the tee pee. If you slaved for him then you are part of the problem but can also go to Fair Work and make your claim. Did you? |
Simple fact is that the company is an entry level GA company, get the experience and move on. Sadly there has been some accidents, however I am of the opinion that most of the accidents have not been directly attributed to the fault of the operator - our flight training standards in Australia have dropped considerably.
Good training, good attitude and a genuine willing to learn particularly the operation pilots are flying up here in the North will give then the knowledge and skill sets to make the correct decisions and advance their careers. Give the company and the owner some respect as the remote communities certainly need long term dedicated operators such as Air Frontier, hence the other operators cannot absorb all the work. |

Meanwhile, other "Millionaire" GA operators feed their families off the exploitation of passionate young pilots, for as long as the passion lasts. Surely.... surely we are better than this? Than excusing ONE operator for circumventing the rules that the rest of us observe? |

I agree that its a **** attitude and I certainly don’t agree with it, however sadly that’s reality. Happy to be corrected, however the fact is that it’s pretty rare to find an older experienced pilot who has been with a GA operator anywhere in Australia for a long period of time, say 5 plus years.
Exceptions would probably only be some of the aeromedical operators. Bigger aeroplanes and more dollars will always win sadly. |

Maybe his son Richard hunt should run the company. He is only 18 but he is total opposite of his dad. He is quite nice and friendly. But I doubt GH will want his son to be fair to his own son. He probably treats his family like puppets. |
The Shovel, My post certainly wasn’t intended to be a lecture, just my humble opinion. Am I a fool? Yes probably but who cares, I certainly don’t. I wish you all the best in whatever you are doing now and in the future. Enough said on this subject from me. Be safe. |
