That is not how it works - if there are openings, the ones that are there in person will be the ones with chances. By the time you get there, the job will already have been taken. So the only way to do it in this region of the world is to show up and stick around like everybody else. But even that has been said a thousand times in this forum. Positions are generally not advertised, there is no need for companies to do that, as there are always enough low-timers sticking around to get in.

Anyone looking for DHC-6 captains??

Hi guys

Just got notice from my employer a couple of weeks ago that at the moment they do not have enough work to keep me busy as a freelance captain on the twotter.

I have five years on the beast accumulating ~2200 hrs, ~1300 of them from the left seat. My TT is 5200 hrs. For the last three years or so I have been flying for both the Red Cross in Sudan, and various oil companies in Algeria.

I also have experience from the Caribbean.

I'm only looking for a rotational contract (4 wks on/ 4 wks off or similar) to keep wife somewhat happy.

If the conditions are right I would be open to do SIC work too. Tough times requires tough measures .

Any leads would be highly appreciated..

FT

With those hours you could try CHC (Canadian Helicopter Company). I take it you're ex-Zimex? They laying guys off at the moment?

Gooney, things seem to have slowed down quite a bit lately for us. Even guys on permanent contract are told there is no job for them at the moment.

We had to pull out of Libya due to a diplomatic conflict between Switzerland and Libya. There are also a couple of contracts expiring around summer that they don't know if they will be renewed.

I know a lot of people are happy over the low oil price, but for us in the oil business it's killing us. Wife is in the same business so I can only hope her company will pull through this.

Here's to higher oil prices soon .

Hi!

I think it's PARC that's advertising contract jobs for Dana Air (Lagos, Nigeria) on the MD-83. It may be another contractor, but those jobs are out there somewhere.
