In a perfect world, yes, mentoring new recruits would be desirable. In reality, at best they get a short induction, then get chucked in the deep end.

You are having a go, working to create an opportunity. Ignore the naysayers who suggest a bare CPL with 200 hours does not fit you for what you propose, assuming it’s a fairly basic VFR operation....

I think the GA fleet is getting old and tired and maintenance is perhaps now being skimped because of high parts and labour costs.
Also, the approach to training needs to get back to ‘old school’...

Try to find out the reasons for high pilot turnover. A mass exodus implies pilots all left at once. Maybe, better opportunities were on offer because of the experience pilots acquired there? If so,...

According to ICAO, in your example Fred as owner is the operator and thus gets to assign the PIC.
So, next question is: has Australia filed a difference with ICAO?
