NT news pulled out of the contract some time back due to costs, 3 months later they were asking to set it up again but planes and pilots elswhere.
Now only done on Friday night.

Used to read the front page to the departure controller in DN each trip.

maxgrad.

Thanks for that. I used to fax the crossword to Adelaide from Tindal then we'd help each other out once I was in the cruise.

Weren't hard though. It was the NT News after all

NAC CP

Gday again Aussie FI

Be comforted in the fact that *** has had a long dismal history of shafting guys that do the yards at the remote bases.

I've personally seen it several times happen to mates. I'm pretty sure I know who you are and where you are.

If I have ever seen a 'puppet' of a CP to the leprechaun then you won't have to look very far at all.

Just business as usual but I don't have dibs on freshly printed NT news so kind of takes the fun out of it

Back to the main topic

Guys, if u are looking for a job in Darwin, don't bother with Air Ngu. They'll be lucky if they make it through next month. the current CEO is driving his company to the wall through his poor management skills. look at the ga ramp in darwin . they have just lost their banderante, they only had 2 twins outside. a mate of mine who used to work there said that they have no respect of seniority and that there are still more casuals than full timers. definately the last place to get awarded progression.

They are just continuing on the destruction path that HE and RH have already laid out. U're better off working for Hardys.

Best of luck guys, there's good operators out there

That's if they get the right pilots. The last two that Vincent got haven't come up to standard.

Enufsaid,

That's a pretty negative view on your part. Could it be that the bandit was having something done to it?

I was under the impression that the company was undergoing a bit of a tidy and freshen up phase?

Enufsaid, the Bandit has been in Matt Overell's for a few days, but apart from that has been parked in its usual position when not in use (from what I've seen).

I do not work for them, but have good reason to believe that NGU are anything but what you describe at the moment. Change takes time, and invariably some will get their nose out of joint, but change for the better is happening.

Dj, cat's out of the bag now, had heard the same the other night.... a bit of inside (hang-on I think we sat outside) info, so to speak.....

Shatfed, not everyone comes up to speed on the day. The word "standard" is a dangerous one.... We've all made mistakes.

The Voice, we never finished that conversation we started before dinner......

Meanwhile...

I'd say there's another operator at Darwin running closer to danger than NGU...

In fact, so close to danger are they, yet the hierarchy aren't fully aware of it yet...

Probably better gone, though. On all accounts.
