Kununurra pilot shortage?
Have heard on the grape vine, that a certain operator in Kununurra has been scouting around looking for pilots this season, as they are short. At least short of “suitable” pilots. I
s there anyone out there who knows anything of this or can back up the rumors?
Some how I don’t understand how they could be short of great guys or girls who would be more than capable of flying there machines.

i find it hard to believe that there is a shortage of pilots in Kununurra.
However if they are the words of the operator, then it's the same story we hear from the airlines all the time :
"...a world wide shortage of pilots..." only because 99% of applicants get knocked back, even though they are all capable of doing the job (fly a plane, they got a licence).

I've always wondered multime...
Are you: mul - time (as in mull time in Jamaica mon), multi-me (like mini-me but there's two of you) or multi-time (as in I'm trying to get some multi-time but the bastards are only giving me the C206 to fly)???
I quite like the first one, the second one is better but the third downright sux.

I agree, I find It hard to believe that there is a pilot shortage in Kunners. Is the operator who is looking Alligator? Maybe their minimums are a little high (and unrealistic).

In days of yore ol Wheelybin used to give people a run with next to nothing but a bare commercial. The record was 180 total time with a bare CPL. While up the road, they used to give people a hard time if they had less than about 400/500 then would take a handfull of them anyway

It's good to see that not much changes in life! We used to hear the same rumours in the early nineties about "an operator" looking for a pilot. Within hours, the roads would be packed with scores of un-employed hopefuls looking for a job. It sometimes took the poor operator months to get rid of the hoards who descended upon him. They were in his dunnee, under his ute, in every pub he drunk at...
