The big boys are hiring and pulling left right and centre just like in early 2017, and then this happens
| 00:00 - 00:03 | Four pilots just demanded leave for next week |
| 00:04 - 00:05 | QLink are aggressively increasing recruitment |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | Jetstar will need 130 pilots this year |
| 00:08 - 00:12 | and mainline shows no sign of slowing down either |
| 00:12 - 00:15 | Virgin's requirements for the 737 are lower than what we require for RPT |
| 00:17 - 00:19 | Put them on extended ground schools |
| 00:19 - 00:21 | It will increase morale. They'll want to stay |
| 00:24 - 00:26 | Andrew |
| 00:27 - 00:28 | I also regret to inform you... |
| 00:31 - 00:33 | Most of the fleet was damaged in the cyclone |
| 00:34 - 00:36 | The planes are bent up pretty bad |
| 00:53 - 00:58 | Everyone leave except Greg, Josh, Harry and Albert |
| 01:13 - 01:18 | Why the hell weren't pilots called in to evacuate the fleet to Tindal? |
| 01:18 - 01:23 | We didn't even tie the twins down |
| 01:25 - 01:28 | It's in our fucking Ops Manual to move the fleet |
| 01:29 - 01:34 | Insurance won't touch us. We're fucked! |
| 01:34 - 01:40 | Half the top end is flattened and we could make a killing flying tradies out to communities |
| 01:40 - 01:42 | Andrew, we'll run the singles sun rise to sun set |
| 01:42 - 01:46 | These clients won't touch the fucking singles! |
| 01:46 - 01:48 | We have one 402 and one Titan ready to go |
| 01:48 - 01:52 | That B model has the payload of a 172. It's fucking useless |
| 01:53 - 01:54 | We're fucked! |
| 01:56 - 01:57 | We could be gouging government contracts |
| 01:57 - 02:00 | But instead we've got to re-skin half our fleet |
| 02:00 - 02:03 | They'll be out of action for weeks |
| 02:04 - 02:08 | We sat on our asses playing with our dicks and now we look like idiots |
| 02:08 - 02:13 | How is it that Air Frontier's fleet wasn't damaged? |
| 02:14 - 02:16 | God damn fucking Air Frontier of all companies! |
| 02:17 - 02:21 | Now how do we dangle carrots in front of our pilots? |
| 02:27 - 02:29 | The new guys generally stay to fly the Titan |
| 02:30 - 02:34 | Now we're down to just one |
| 02:34 - 02:36 | And it's about to run out of frame hours |
| 02:41 - 02:42 | What happened? |
| 02:43 - 02:47 | What happened to the good old days? |
| 02:48 - 02:53 | We used to be able to hold down pilots for years |
| 02:54 - 02:56 | They don't know how good they have it |
| 02:56 - 02:59 | In my day it took a year on the baron to earn the 402 |
| 03:00 - 03:02 | Then 1000 hours on the 402 to earn the Titan |
| 03:04 - 03:07 | It's ok. It'll get better. |
| 03:14 - 03:16 | They used to beg for Metro FO |
| 03:19 - 03:23 | Now nobody needs multi-crew, and don't care for single engine turbine |
| 03:25 - 03:26 | I love those Caravans |
| 03:31 - 03:33 | Start handing out Metro commands |
| 03:40 - 03:46 | We'll ICUS the shit out of them and beg ERA to lower their minimums further |
| 03:46 - 03:49 | But they can pay for their own night hours... |
| 03:53 - 03:56 | ...fuck paying for their night hours |
