Kakadu Tours
Hi everyone - Kakadu Tours are advertising for a Caravan training pilot and piston twin driver. I'm thinking of applying.
Can anyone give me any info about the operation - what they do, what the company is like etc?
Thanks!
Dupre.

Having now read the Kak Air thread I would like to re-pose the question as there was nothing useful there at all!
1) What does their fleet consist of?
2) Do they have any bases other than Darwin?
3) Do they pay the award?
4) Who/what do they primarily fly? What do they use the twins for?
5) How much flying do they do?
6) Are the aircraft maintained to a good standard or do they cut corners?
7) Do the management treat the pilots well?
8) I understand they have recently got a new Chief Pilot - is the new guy good?
Feel free to PM me if you don't want to post on the thread!
Thanks
