The pilot and the employer

[johnm]

Here is an interesting snapshot of employee and employer - I reckon most will see both sides of the fence - Fieldair ag site

 

I can see the employers point of view - expensive machinery and twisted aluminium

 

The pilot has now been cloned with appropriate DNA and should be useful in 18 years (think thats CPL age)

Apply To: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

Seeking pilots with Ag experience. NO egos. NO Cowboys, NO throttle bashers, NO know it alls, NO Nutcases, NO Freeloaders, NO nasty types, NO whingers, NO slackers, NO liars, NO hidden agendas. NO opportunists. Must be team players, of sober habits, honest in all respects, professional in all regards, able to give, take and carry out instructions, be accountable, reliable and responsible, able to keep good records, able to clearly communicate on various levels. Must understand this is not a get rich industry, demand can be unpredictable, so flexibility is necessary. Must understand the aircraft is not a penis extension, it is their office in which they risk their lives daily and that correct and careful daily inspection, maintenance and operation of the aircraft helps keeps them alive. All aspects of safety and daily care of the aircraft and equipment must be a primary concern. The promotion of Best Practice over Common Practice is expected at all times. I have had my share of bullartists, con men, weirdos and badly trained monkeys. I want a real pilot who can work within Company Policies. Someone that does not have to be watched over to ensure they are doing the right thing. If you think youre the kind of person Im looking for I would appreciate you emailing your resume.

Wonder how many replies he gets.

 

I would work for him (not that I have the tickets/endos etc), but he sounds like a real Boss, you'd know where you stood.

He sounds like if you make a wrong step, he has a label to stick on you. deserved or other wise.

I wouldn't apply for that job. Most in the AG game are good to work for and don't need to state all that stuff. I have worked for a few operators over the years and you soon tell the good from the bad. It's not a game you can just step off the street and bluff your way through, you have to know what you are doing. I have found in one case "Must be a team player" meant not filling out the maintanence release for six months because ole mate didn't want hours on his engine. In any game there are good and bad, AG is no different to most. There are dipstck pilots but they are soon weeded out, nobody is going to trust a clown in an aircraft that can cost between $400,000 to 2 million. That sort of add would make me hesitant to apply.

I forgot to say I have seen this game from both sides of the fence, as an employee and an employer.

I found this add on the same site as the former... Personally I would go for the employer who still has a sense of humor...
