Darwin GA

Without getting into a slagging match, which operators have the best reputation in Darwin, and have the best prospects for moving on and upwards to the airlines?

And how do these operators compare to other GA opertors in the rest of Aus?

Pearl Aviation and Surveillance Australia, other wise much the same.

They mostly seem to fight like cat and dog and you won't get any good comments from the opposition.

RENURPP is right, but they are hardly a starting point, and with the experience you need to start with either you would already have the requirements for the airlines. The smaller GA operators where you generally work your way up are on par (or though some will disagree). The differences are hardly notable. Perhaps the more important question is the progression from single to twin? Can't answer that one!

Question And what about...

...Vincent Aviation? Friends who have worked there tell me it is a good operation that treats its staff like family.

What about NAC?

Sure Hardys are good but come on NAC was up there.

Progression, conditions, team moral - all of the highest standards in DN.

Maintenance was another level of excellence....

'Ground check serviceable' or 'fault could not be replicated on ground' boy do those words sound sweet.

Now where is my application for the RSPCA......
