Cessna Caravan time-building
If for some strange reason, you specifically wanted to build time on the 'van, which company would you fly for? Slingair? Hinterland? Anyone else?

Thanks for the tips. Had forgotten about jumping ops, not a bad lead. Cheers all.

Maudlin there was skydiveing mob in Cairns advertising for 208 drivers recently, can't recall the full details though, might be worth a try.
They are always looking for drivers, Think the advert went like this:
Jump pilot required, 800TT min, skydiving exp prefered, award wage (neg).
Worth a look, but am told by several skydivers that they do go through their drivers up there.

Not sure if its the same mob, but one of the CNS based jump operators were advertising for drivers and when I rang up they informed me I would have to pay for the endo, and then get this bit, I would be bonded for 12 (could have been 6) Mnths. Bonded for what I couldn't figure. the money wasn't that flash either, so I said no thanks and left it at that.

Hinterland - what are they looking at for exp for 208 drivers?
