I don't really see the problem with this advertisement? All seems fairly reasonable to me? Beached_az, I'm curious as to which part you think is unreasonable? Aren't they still doing type ratings on each Aircraft in NZ?

Correct.

TBH, that ad looks fairly standard (for the current climate)... I don't understand what the fuss is about? :confused:

Well established small operator that no doubt works hard to remain viable. I hope they find the right person that does the right thing by them

The hardship allowance for living at National Park may be paid in the sheep of your choice :}

Very spectacular region for joy flight jollies. Could be some interesting trips there due wind and wx !!

If you are already 'type rated' on a C172, what is the training bond for?

Presumably the training bond is also to cover the 135 operational competency assessment and so forth. Doesn't look unreasonable to me for a small GA operator, especially as in the current climate it isn't unrealistic that a new pilot might jump ship within a month or two to greener pastures.

Fairly reasonable? I would tend to disagree. I don't have an issue with bonding but they already want you type rated and it a single engine piston.

Always the risk you run when paying minimum wage and getting the lawns mown for free.

ElZilcho,

Did you ever work there? I suspect not. I know a few people who have worked there over the years and they seemed to thoroughly enjoy it. I would think the current owner would be good to work for. Having done similar work a few years ago now, I couldn't think of a better job job for a young guy or girl starting out.

I rather suspect by your statement "specific to the owners" tends to indicate it has indeed been sold since you were there. To my knowledge there is one owner and has been that way for a while now.
