Re: Pilot Required - Sea World Helicopters
Great to see entry level jobs being advertised again, I’d say go for it. I did some time up on the Gold Coast as a contractor few years ago now and it was great fun.
It would be a satisfying job flying a great machine doing laps around the Gold Coast to build time and a great roster to boot by the sound of it.

The only thing 'entry level' about that advert is the salary!

Sad part about it is that salary is standard in fnq for pilots.

Your dollar goes a bit further in FNQ than it does on the Gold Coast. It shouldn't matter too many applicants though, I'd imagine a reasonable percentage would be heading home to to live with Mum and Dad.

Side issue, but have you lived in both areas? I have and the cost of living in FNQ is far greater than the Gold Coast.

You won't have to worry about pay rates, we breathalyse all our pilots each morning so you probably won't last long!
