Ben, it is "Torres Strait".
Just thought I'd put you Straight.
Spent 7 months on Horny Island, that was more than enough.

Rotorpilot, if I was single I still wouldn't go there.
Absolutely nothing against the company, just too bloody hot and humid for an old bloke.

Beautiful spot to fly around, particularly during the dry season. Wet season definitely has its challenges and needs to be treated with respect. The owner is a good guy and an experienced and capable pilot himself...would be a good job for person starting out with the right level of experience. Thursday Island isn't too bad and is better than Horn Island for lifestyle.

Hmmm... cold won't be a feature.
Hot ... tick
Good fishing..... yes, but watch for the crocs
Boating...........yes, but watch for the crocs
Snow..............umm...no
Hunting..........if you are after crocs. But they are protected unless you are a native of the area.
Was standing on the hospital pad on TI, looking at the tide whizzing past, and asked one of the nurses if she ever swam there. She said she was once considering a dip, but then a croc swam past with a dog in its jaws.

We all have our strengths. I fly ok given my experience level, I have a lot to learn in aviation. iv allways been a lot better with machines than books. I can not write a novel to save my life but thats ok i get paid to operate heavy machinery not edit womens weekly. If you would like to come back a road train for me i am happy offer advice from the sidelines.

This job was advertised two years ago from memory, infact im positive because I spent quite some time googling thursday Island and again now. Hopefully next time it comes up Ill have just enough seat time to scrape in. Its definitely the type of position Im after. Apart from the sparky part. I'm not bad with a spanner but. I can't find his company online, Iv also never got a response. However Iv been learning of late that between a fresh CPL and about 300 hours you are just another annoying wanna be so no-replies are standard. It disappoints me that with such low demand for new pilots I have to compete with all these VET fee students. Hoping that buy the time I pay my way to 300 hours they will all still be stuck at 105. I do see a lot of low time jobs in south africa but it would be nice to stay in the oceania area.

Re: Pilot Required Torres Strait
Not trying to be harsh but why would someone employ you in a customer facing position (any tourism or charter job) when your grammar is so bad. I know it shouldn't matter but if i was a customer and the pilot wrote me an email in the same way you type i would not want to fly with them. If you want to fly mustering or something then i'm sure it would make much less of a difference.

SA run off regs based on EASA so that’s extra exams, 200 hours TT/ 100 hours PIC for a basic CPLH.

Can you use any fixed wing for that do you know?

Re: Pilot Required Torres Strait
Short answer is ‘kinda’. Unlike in Australia and the US where logged hours count as aeronautical experienced and can cross over up to a certain percentage, in SA fixed-wing hours can only be applied if you have a valid SA license.
If you have a license, 2 hours in the other category = 1 hour towards the new category and then you can use them for a max of 50% of the required hours.
For example, someone with an SA CPL in fixed-wing or helo wants the other, their 200 hours TT = 100 and their 100 hours PIC = 50 and they’re halfway towards the minimums.

I like the idea of flying overseas but I have enough fun dealing with CASA. Iv had freinds come to AUS from overseas. Converting your licence is not fun.
