Hevilift PNG is no longer, it is Hevilift Ltd now, complete restructure of management and merger with Regional Aviation. The MD of the new joint venture company is the owner of Regional.
A lot of people have left and the conditions there are worse than the old Hevilift. Pilots have to fund their own insurance policies.
The high time long line fellows have left in numbers and secured employment elsewhere.
The pilots in the Solomon Islands have also walked and they are attempting to replace them.

If you take employment with them, just be aware of what they will offer in terms of medical repatriation and life insurance, PNG and the Solomons Is isnt exactly the safest place to work. A colleague of mine got offered A$4200 a month for an IFR 212 slot, not exactly huge money for an IFR driver in a third world location.

$4200 per month for only 6 months work per year sounds OK to me, where do I sign up!
