Oooh, poisoned chalice anyone?

[Phone Wind]

Aucky,

Mr Akinbobola is employed by Bristow HR department in Nigeria, but as 212 man says, the interviews are for those selected for their Nigerian sponsored cadet programme, which is only open to Nigerian graduates - the adverts for applications were in the local papers a few months back.

They may be looking for some qualified S76 pilots though if you're typed on it and have offshore experience.

[Aucky]

Thanks - Thats what I thought was odd. I was sent an email inviting me to interview, with some basic info on the cadet program, but as a non-nigerian national I wasn't sure why, and wouldn't have applied on that basis, or seen an ad in a local nigerian paper... (But I did apply for something else with Bristow in Africa). Must have been a mix up. Cheers for the clarification :ok:

[Macaco Norte]

For PSNI:

3 Days - 0800-1700
3 Nights - 1700-0200
3 Off

Perminent cover as far as Im aware.
Current Pilot not had his visa extended.
Probably best paid position at PSNI.
Why not apply & find out, can always turn it down if successful but not happy.

[Helinut]

If an organisation wants to encourage good candidates it is a good idea to provide the sort of detail such a candidate would reasonably want.

It is all a question of perspective of course, but as I read it, it is the lowest (or one of the lowest) rates for a current police helicopter pilot in the UK. If you add all the costs of transport and accommodation (which the pilot would personally need to cover), and no idea of duration, it just increases uncertainty. A current, typed police pilot will be comparing rates with what HE can get doing the same work elsewhere. What other people working for PSNI are paid may not be very persuasive for a candidate.

Not trying to be awkward, but helpful. I have flown at PSNI and enjoyed it.

One of the pilots made redundant by NPAS might not have found a place yet, but I would not hold your breath?

[Sloppy Link]

Re the PSNI job, instead of relying on PPruNe for details, I contacted the job advert and received answers to all my questions. Didn't fit my timelines so no go.

[Non-PC Plod]

The advert is about the standard you seem to get from aviation recruitment agencies. If you see what is posted on Flight Global, there are hundreds of adverts from so-called aviation recruitment specialists who make no mention whatsoever of whether they are even looking for a fixed-wing or rotary-wing pilot. If you ring up and ask them, half the time they dont even know, and they cerainly dont understand much of what you explain to them in terms of your experience. They are just forwarding the information provided by other HR departments (who often do not really know much about it either). Imagine how many pilots a police HR department deals with...(not many). The person in the HR department would not have the faintest idea what the shift pattern is etc. Unfortunately, the "professionals" at the recruitment agencies dont always use their experience to filter out the superfluous and obtain the useful infomation from the customer!

Hi folks, im after some advice.

I havent flown in 5 years, I went into business after my initial training but this year id like to make a return to flying if I can, would appreciate some counsel on how i might achieve that.

I have under 500 hours TT, JAA CPL with IR on the AS355, also have an FAA CPL with IR.

No previous work experience, UK citizen.

If I acquired an R44 type rating, reckon I could pick up some work as a tour pilot somewhere in Europe or in the Canaries as listed above ?

Is 5 years on the ground too long ?

Appreciate your insight.

Ah, wonderful. So no sexual discrimination laws in Malaysia? :confused:

I like the:

"Benefits:To be discussed Start Date 2013-Jan-30

[piggybank]

Bravo 73, no I don't think there are any sex discrimination laws in Malaysia. It may just be a case of the religious attitude of the country and the males of the family feeling happier with a woman teaching their daughter/sister/mother to fly.

[spinwing]

Mmmmm ...

.... I don't think there are any sex discrimination laws in Malaysia. ....

The Malaysian legal system though inherited from Britain has some aspects of Sharia Law and is by European standards discriminatory .... as Malaysia (like Indonesia) is an Islamic State (????) ... the local attitudes are different to what might be elsewhere considered 'normal'.

Anyway like Europe they do believe that "What the customer wants the customer gets!!!" (sometimes :O).

A quick re-cap for everyone who has sent me a PM recently (and, no, I don't have any inside line or crystal ball):

All the 3 major UK offshore operators are currently hiring.

For all of those positions, you will need (at least) a JAA/EASA CPL(H)/IR, the right to work in the EU and good English. If you have SAR experience (and wish to remain in SAR), if the current rumours are correct, you will be better off applying to Bond or Bristow.

Too little, them cheap bastards :ok:

[Bitmonx]

Are there any minimums required on type to qualify?
I got no experience on any of the ac they're operating but got a 1000 hrs on the 212 flying offshore.
.

[gulliBell]

Bitmonx...I think you'll find your 212 offshore time has some value as quite often it counts as 212/412 time and Bristow operate 412 in Nigeria.

[hueyracer]

They don´t.

Most operators working for O&G are desperately looking for pilots with 412-experience....212 and 412 might be the same rating; but the big operators require time on 412...


But give it a try....

You already have a "No"-so you can only get a "Yes"...

50 openings sounds crazy!!!!

And I wonder, will they ever need copilots? Never seen openings for copilots for remote areas. :ugh: Do Bristow pay for Multi-Captain Crews? Or maybe they hire locally

[Tango123]

All the big operators have a permanent lack of qualified pilots. The reason is simply Money! People are leaving as soon as they get a job elsewhere (NS, Oz or ...) Anywhere is better than Nigeria, even though the normal range is somewhere between 11-13000 $/month taxfree for an expat captain. A nice paycheck, I would say, but not for Nigeria.

[Sloppy Link]

Military with 3k TT, no rating, coming to end of service. Whaddya reckon? Worth a punt?

[helops]

what about co-pilots in Nigeria?

is the IR(H) so important? I don't think they use to fly under IFR out there..

I'm a 1000 h pilot, single turbine engine only, no IR.. Is that possible to get an off shore job anywhere?

Thank you!! & happy landings..

[hueyracer]

No worries, Lads.....they write "Minimum requirements" just for the fun of it...
:ugh:


If the ad states the minimum requirements-and you don´t fulfill them-simply don´t apply.

The massive amount of (unqualified) applications is one of the reasons pilots mainly never get a reply for an application (not even a "No, Thx")...

Without an IR, most unlikely.

[Nubian]

Bitmonx,

A former colleague with NO real offshore time (ie. rig flying) with 212 hrs, and a 412 difference typerating (4hrs in a sim) got hired by Bristows, so the minimum on type is definately not so. They WANT these figures, but they have to fill the seats, and if they don't get pilots with their minimums they don't get to fill those seat....or they must make changes to their mins.

Hueyracer,

Well, the companies are raising the minimums and sometimes it comes back to bite them in the a$$. If they don't get applicants that meet the minimums, they have to take whoever that is closest to the requirements.
So if yo don't want to apply for jobs that might look like you can't get that is up to you.

I know many pilots that has done just that and got hired, but I also know of a few that has not tried applying due to low hours and not right type experience which is no longer in the game.

Good luck, in any case!

[hueyracer]

Thank god i am sitting on the other side of the fence now..

I have a good job, not looking for another one-and I am picking the pilots....
:D

[Jet Ranger]

Nigeria ... Today they removed B412 & 332 from Job description, only S92 and S76 C++ ...

JR

[Bitmonx]

That sucks......well, I applied anyway!

[Adroight]

There is nothing in the ad that specifies S92 or S76 type ratings required - just the hour requirement. I personally cannot envisage many S92 pilots queueing up to fly in Nigeria.

[pookie1]

Be wary of Titan Helicopters. They have been struggling to get pilots in South Africa for several years, despite there being no pilot shortage in SA, and are now trying to find staff internationally. I personally know pilots who will never fly for them again. They recently recruited an American to fly in Oranjemund, Namibia and he only lasted 3 weeks with them. I'm not sure what happened with him but its certainly a pretty bad sign.

[gulliBell]

Isn't Titan just a re-badged Court Helicopters? Court had that Oranjemund gig for many years and, from what I heard from people who worked there, it was a pretty good job, certainly in comparison to other options in Africa.

Regarding Americans, generally. I've found them to have a good work ethic however when they get out of their comfort zone, at remote places devoid of modern conveniences like telephone and internet and air conditioning and good food and other such every day things normally taken for granted, they can struggle to cope. So I wouldn't be surprised if just the "Africa factor" might have something to do with short staff retention.

[hueyracer]

That has nothing to do with being (or not being) an American....
There are people that enjoy working in remote areas-and some who don´t.

There are people who enjoy flying ENG-and some who hate it...
There are people who enjoy flying EMS-and some don´t...

I have also heard from a pilot who works for Titan as a Freelancer, who said that he would never work for that company full time....

[gulliBell]

That has nothing to do with being (or not being) an American...

Maybe so, but it remains my observation in those operations which I'm familiar with...when our US friends find themselves in 3rd World ops, having lost their access to modern World technology, morale goes down and they tend to not hang around outside their comfort zone for long. I've seen it time and time again....

As for Titan, I have no idea whether this has anything to do with it or not, but I would have thought Oranjemund to be a pretty good gig by Africa standards.

[pookie1]

Court Helicopters had the Oranjemund contract among others and was very successful for many years. CHC Africa took over Court's operations several years ago after the CEO died and the company became CHC Africa. Some time later when CHC decided to close CHC Africa and run everything from Canada they sold off their unwanted operations, including Oranjemund and the two S76A++'s operating there. Titan, a George based South African company, bought the operation from CHC in 2008. Titan dusted off the Court name and re-introduced it as it had had a good reputation in Namibia and South Africa and obviously they couldn't continue to use CHC's name on the operation.

I wasn't implying anything about Americans at all on my previous post. My point was simply to be careful since Titan are battling to find pilots who will work for them locally (Southern Africa) where they are well known and are now looking further afield and so far the trend isn't good.

[hueyracer]

That might as well be because they are offering peanuts...and we all know what you get when you pay peanuts...

[pookie1]

Good point....!

[gulliBell]

...and how many peanuts per month might they be offering for Oranjemund?

[Adroight]

10,0000 US peanuts per month which I think would make some monkeys quite happy.

But if that doesn't do it for you then you could work in the tropical paradise of Aberdeen paying UK tax:

Bristow Helicopters LTD is now recruiting additional key staff to support our business and customer requirements.

Pilots

We currently have a number of openings for qualied Pilots within our European Business Unit at Aberdeen. To be included in this role, the candidate MUST possess UKCAA/JAA ATPLH or UKCAA/JAA CPLH with ATP theory and UKCAA/JAA IR(H) along with offshore experience. The ideal candidate would have 500 hours ying multi-engine helicopters or be a graduate from Bristow Academy. Candidates with Type rating on S92/ AW139/ S76/ AS332L /332L2 preferred, but conversion courses available if required.

A competitive salary and benefits package is on offer.

[hueyracer]

I have been asked to do some longlining on Bell mediums, with 6/6 rotation.....

Be sure what you´re hiring for....

[gulliBell]

...and I was asked to do some long-lining on Bell mediums for $10,000 USD/month on 28/28 rotation, which turned out to be $10,000 for the month you worked, but nothing for the month off. Proceed with caution!

If anyone let me know which one to chose from R-44/66 or BELL-407 or else EC130. For better future which helicopter is likely to provide better career/job oppurtunity around the world.

[Aucky]

Lots of low time pilots with R44/R66 experience. The EC130 or Bell 407 time, along with your military experience, will definitely provide you with more interesting opportunities (EMS, charter, sling, utility, tourism) and help to differentiate you from the rest unless you want to instruct, in which case you'd probably be busier in an R44/66.

It depends in which country do you want to work,or most important, you can work. See which helicopters have these countries, contact with companies and ask what they are demanding, and then you can decide.

[flyingscorp]

Really appreciate all of your efforts,

@apb
Prefered to work in Indonesia, PNG, Australia, NZ and Middle East. Given a reasonable salary and roster open to work at any place though.

@Aucky- nop, no more instructing as it takes lots of efforts on ground preparing a new pilot.

Warm regrds,

flyingscorp.

[Milo C]

Why do they always have positions available?
Salary? Conditions? Pilots leaving? Or just they don't find people with that profile?

:confused:

[Bravo73]

Yep, .. But I've SE/IR not ME. Seems to be a big hazard for the companies in the UK. Don't know why that's a minimum requirement if someone doesn't have the TR yet. Is it OGP or something else? I'm open for pm's.

<snip> [Post edited & corrected in light of Courtesy Car's post below.]

But plenty of people have been hired with SE IR(H)s. So unless the advert specifically asks for a ME IR(H), I would apply anyway. And Scotland is a lot closer than Macau.

[Curtis E Carr]

An ME IR(H) only needs a TRI & TRE for the conversion. An SE IR(H) holder also needs an IRI, who might not necessarily be 'on staff'

From FCL.905.TRI:

The privileges of a TRI are to instruct for:

(a) [...]

(b) [...]

(c) [...]

(d) [...]

(e) in the case of the TRI for helicopters:

(1) the issue, revalidation and renewal of helicopter type ratings;

(2) MCC training, provided he/she holds a multi-pilot helicopter type rating;

(3) the extension of the single-engine IR(H) to multi-engine IR(H);

[Helo-Helo]

Thx for the replies! The extra cost was what I was expecting. I will sent my papers to Bond this week. Someone knows what they offer for bonding commitment? And what the numbers of needed F/Os are in Aberdeen (not only Bond but CHC+ Bristow also)?

[Asian experience]

I am new here. But I thought I would post in relation to the above position. I have a friend who recently worked there, and most of what he said was quite negative. The positive points where one you get a 139 type rating, if you have not flown internationally then the experience is good and you get a lot of time on the aircraft. The negative side is they have a lot of pilots leaving every year, roughly my friend said out of 30 pilots, 10 leave per year. The reasons he said were mainly due to money, because where they are based it is getting very expensive with cost of living and the housing subsidy for a single pilot is very low that you cannot afford anything descent. Also he had medical problems and that the company policy does not cover anything near in the medical costs for an international pilot, and they say that they have loss of licence coverage, but he found out that that the company changed the policy and that if they can prove you can do any form of work like sit at an office desk then they will not pay, luckily he is not there anymore.
But saying that if you want a 139 type rating go ahead, you will get lots of time.

Asian exp

[gulliBell]

I have worked in the Macau operation. It's a good job. The money is OK. You get to go home every night. Plenty of things to keep you occupied in your off time. However, it is true they have a relatively high pilot turn-over. Not everybody fits their mold. They have quite a few pilots who have been there for 10+ years, others don't get to stay very long for various reasons. The management might seem a bit dysfunctional at times but you can say that about a lot of other operations as well. If you are adaptable and good at keeping your mouth shut then Macau is a worthwhile experience. A little boring flying the same routes all the time, but overall it's a pretty good gig.

[212man]

And that link confirms that NHV have recently won a contract to operate out of Wick. Remarkable!
Yes, what's that all about? Will the pax fly in FW?

[terminus mos]

Must be to extend the legs of the 155 so it can actually get somewhere.

[VFRIFR]

gullibell,

So you should be able to tell us why they only except certain licenses ie., Ozzie and Kiwi ATP mainly. Isn't that discriminatory to the rest of us?

[Adroight]

They accept JAR licences too. Perhaps it is for the same reason that I cannot fly in USA without an FAA licence, or South Africa without an SA licence. It is not the operator who dictates licence type but the regulatory authority.

[Hot_LZ]

Government Flying Service of Hong Kong all get the JAR/EASA ticket before they then convert to HK license.

[GoodGrief]

I think what VFRIFR referred to is the fact that other than JAR Australian and NZ tickets are accepted, but not FAA.

[hueyracer]

They also accept FAA-tickets....

[gulliBell]

gullibell,

So you should be able to tell us why they only except certain licenses ie., Ozzie and Kiwi ATP mainly. Isn't that discriminatory to the rest of us?

Not true. You need to present your ICAO recognized aircrew licence to Macau AACM for validation. Once your foreign license is validated you jump through the hoops to get a Macau pilot licence (easy). You also need to present your credentials to HK CAD for assessment. They decide what exams you need to take, then competency check with examiner, then apply for HK license (easy, but not as easy as Macau). Ultimately you need to hold Macau and Hong Kong licenses (because the aircraft have mixed registrations). It doesn't matter squat what your native license is.

[GoodGrief]

Point taken.
Why does the add discriminate then? ICAO or FAA specifically not mentioned.

"Holder of an unconverted Airline Transport Pilot License (Helicopter) issued by JAR, Hong Kong, Australia or New Zealand."

[gulliBell]

I wouldn't call it discrimination, "preference" is probably a better word. I'm not associated with the Company and I have no idea why they have expressed it the way they have. It might be the case that, historically, applicants with those licenses have negotiated the AACM/HKCAD processes more readily than those who don't. But certainly they have hired pilots with native licenses not mentioned, as well as pilots with less experience than mentioned.

I used to work for them, and I'd go back to work for them if asked. But they haven't asked and nor are they likely to (they tend not to re-hire former staff as a matter of Company policy). So if anybody is considering applying, even if you're slightly underdone on the experience they are looking for, there is no harm in applying. They do have a lot of flexibility who they can hire because they arbitrarily set their own requirements (i.e. they aren't playing to the tune of any clients: remember they hired a whole stack of cadet pilots with zero experience, sent them to Australia and elsewhere to do their CPL and IR, and put them on as co-pilots with probably 150 hours total time).

[ka26]

Is there any possibility to be hired as an AW139 copilot without an IR?

[gulliBell]

...most unlikely I'm afraid...in my time there I only recall one pilot being hired without an IR, and he had to get his eventually (I can't recall if the Company sponsored him or he paid for it himself). There have probably been others.

I can assure you it gets pretty black over the South China Sea at night, hence why the IR is essential (plus the viz during the day is ****e much of the time due to industrial air pollution which is endemic to the greater Pearl River Delta, and much of China for that matter).

[Michel GAY]

Hello everybody I'm intersted by this job but I would like anwsers about this company and the quality of life, the salary and the rest.

i have a CPL IR with the ATPL theorical and more than 700 hrs on offshore.

Do you have some contacts or perhaps someone in this company for me???

Thanks :ok:

[DauphinDude]

They can prefer whatever they like. The Hong Kong SAR pilots (GFS) all go to Britain for their training and get their JAR. I suppose it is because of the superior ground studies you have to go through. FAA ticket don´t convert easily to HKCAD. To go to EASA you still need to sit the 14 exams. Almost same thing. It has to do with the historical relationship with Britain.

I know one who was recently employed by them and while you do log a lot of hours, it is not a good career choice. Among the reasons are the inability to log PICUS, and you are not gonna get the bump to command unless you get PIC hours in another country. It is not very well payed either.

[400hover]

I use to see a lot of agencies and recruiters...

I have some doubts about them. If they recruit us for a company, who will our "boss"? The agency or the company?

I have watched Zenon, and they use to have always or most of the time helicopter positions.

If we are recruited by them, what is our bond with them??

[hueyracer]

How long have you been in the helicopter business?

These "recruiting agencies" are just sorting out the cv´s-only forwarding the promising ones to the Helicopter company that is looking for pilots....

That´s it..
You will be hired by the helicopter company-NOT the recruiting agency.

[JAA/FAA Pilot]

As for Zenon and West Africa...Zenon handeld everything from recruiting to negotiating and offering a contract.
According to the contract, they were also in charge to handle the salary once they would receive the funds from the operator :eek: which was the point for me to take another option.
So, there was a lot more than just sorting out CV's.

[Adroight]

You must be the only pilot I know who actually received a reply from Zenon.

[EESDL]

Never seen the media so full of jobs for helos, whether or not you speak German and like to sit at Battersea or want to trail winchman (or winchlady) around the sky? I realise these might not be 'newbie' positions but encouraging news none the less.

Well it is an honorable thing you are doing , but if you want to deploy a team, if you ask me the R44 is definitively not the right helicopter for the job, slow and weak. and as i understand you want a pilot to fly with no pay?? how is he supposed to pay his bills when he gets home?
Aim for a AS350B2 and pay the pilots and i think you will have a lot of seekers.

Finished CPL+IR(H) a year ago and time flies. Positive results at the FTO but now only working hardcore for paying debt interests. I know it's all part off the game but really really want a offshore/aviation related job instead of working in construction. But it's difficult to find something with 240 hrs.

Watching all the websites multiple times a day for openings but not 1 selection/grading. Doing something wrong and just need some advice or feedback. Someone ? Thx in advance.

Are you willing to move to Aberdeen?

If so, have you applied to Bond, Bristow and CHC? As far as I'm aware, all 3 are currently recruiting co-pilots.

[Jet Ranger]

...but, don't forget, you need ME/IR-H for that.

JR

[tu154]

Bristow not an option unless you have been through 'the academy'.

As for the other two, yes they are recruiting, but you need something too stand out from the other cvs on the 'two foot high pile'. IR is plus, low hours minus.

[Aucky]

I heard from an unsuccessful applicant that CHC are looking for 1000+ hours at this stage, leaving perhaps Bond for fresh CPL IR's in Aberdeen? It could of course all change if they don't find the numbers. Unfortunately this is the danger or zero-to-CPL+IR with no other experience to set you apart from the rest and help get you an interview. Have you made the effort to go and meet the various operators/chief-pilots/recruiters face to face? You might not want to limit your options to offshore if you want to at least keep your hand in, I know of a handful of places looking for fresh instructors...

[Helo-Helo]

Thx for the replies guys. Getting started is the hardest I guess. Finished only SE/IR in Belgium and what mentioned above ME is required.
Any ideas how high that pile is in numbers of different pilots?

[1oh1]

The Royal Oman Police are looking for more pilots to increase numbers.

[Aucky]

Finished only SE/IR in Belgium and what mentioned above ME is required.

It's not unheard of for people to get an offshore job with a SEIR, I know of people on this site who were hired by CHC with exactly that completed on the Longranger (BAC Denmark), but it is not helping your cause, when also with low hours, jockeying against other applicants on paper who have MEIR's (AS355/EC135). They would likely interview people with ME type ratings and MEIR's first unless you have something else enticing on your CV.

[Bravo73]

Not any more. The cost/hassle to upgrade is now much reduced under EASA, so there isn't really a preference for ME/IRs anymore. It's the IR part which is important.

If Bristow are still insisting on an (OGP) minimum of 500hrs and CHC want 1000hrs, then you definitely want to be applying here:

Pilots ? Bond Offshore Aberdeen | Bond Aviation Group (http://www.bondaviationgroup.com/careers/pilots/pilots-bond-offshore)

You will, however, have to be of a sufficient standard to pass an assessment at Oxford Aviation Academy. You can get a very good idea of what is required from here: ask.oxfordaviation.net ? View topic - What is Included in Skills Assessment (http://ask.oxfordaviation.net/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=5266)

[Bravo73]

...but, don't forget, you need ME/IR-H for that.

JR

Not any more. See my post above.

[Jet Ranger]

Well, the costs are the same today (under EASA) as the last year, or two years ago (under the JAR FCL II, amend. 3,4 or 5).

So, all that is one story, but reality is a bit different!

Cheers

JR

[Bravo73]

I know. And judging by our comparative biographies, I might be currently a little bit more 'in the know' than you.

OK no problem, you know much better than me. Can you just explain this thing about the lower costs of SE to ME IR extension, now under the EASA? And what have changed, as you said, in the last few months?

Cheers JR

The conversion can now be done by a TRI, as part of a ME type rating. Previously, an IRI was also required.

[Helo-Helo]

Its about 15-20k to convert to ME I've heard. Quite a lot of money after already spended a bunch on training.. But how about the Oman police? Someone can pm me some info, is it reasonable to reply to them with 240 hrs?

[Bravo73]

Its about 15-20k to convert to ME I've heard. Quite a lot of money after already spended a bunch on training..

Hmmm, have you been reading my posts? The Bond advert does not specify a ME/IR, just an IR. If you are successful with your application, then the upgrade will form part of your type rating.



But how about the Oman police? Someone can pm me some info, is it reasonable to reply to them with 240 hrs?


No. They are looking for a captain. The requirements were in a previous link.

[Helo-Helo]

Yes I have, and thanks for the specified feedback. Bond doesn't mention anything about ME on their site but they do require ME/IR. Had contact back in April and SE/IR wasn't enough to participate at the grading.

Ok captain only for Oman, check..

[Bravo73]

Yes I have, and thanks for the specified feedback. Bond doesn't mention anything about ME on their site but they do require ME/IR. Had contact back in April and SE/IR wasn't enough to participate at the grading.

Oh well, it's changed. Again.


Sorry to get your hopes up.

[almost canadian]

If you can get to 500 hours, try these guys:
Rotor Wing Pilots (http://www.ornge.ca/careers/Aviation/Pages/RotorWingPilots.aspx)

I got my start there many years ago. Haven't looked back since.

Also, go talk to NHV, see what they recommend or at what point they would look at you.

[Bravo73]

Also, go talk to NHV, see what they recommend or at what point they would look at you.

Their website currently asks for an ME/IR and 500hrs TT:

[jymil]

About NHV: don't forget an EC155 type rating is also a requirement :ugh:

About Bond: I do have a ME IR and all of the essential reqs, but they didn't even bother to reply to my application. Not sure what to make of that ..

[jazzyj78]

For me same case as Jymil with Bond...No feed back...
Last year i spoke with NHV Chief pilot via email and he told me => To be hire by NHV EC155 Type rating is mandatory...

[Bravo73]

About Bond: I do have a ME IR and all of the essential reqs, but they didn't even bother to reply to my application. Not sure what to make of that ..

From the bottom of their current ad:

"If your application is of interest to us we will normally contact you within two weeks of receiving your CV. If you aren’t contacted within this period, please don’t re-submit your CV."

[jymil]

Sure smartypants, that's the most obvious reason. But it doesn't really make a professional impression on me if a company communicates like a black hole. I think it is not unreasonable to expect a response if I meet the posted minimum requirements.

[Bravo73]

Sure smartypants

:confused:

They don't want you. Get over it, move on.

I'd never guess why.

[Aucky]

For what it's worth, I heard back from Bond earlier in the year, but it was 6 weeks after my application...

[212_Nightdipper]

(BOND)...for me was almost 6 months after....asked for an updated cv...but thats it....:ugh:

[hueyracer]

Sure smartypants, that's the most obvious reason. But it doesn't really make a professional impression on me if a company communicates like a black hole. I think it is not unreasonable to expect a response if I meet the posted minimum requirements.

Just post a job offer for a helo-pilot on this forum-and reply to the hundreds of application daily with a personal email......just for one week...

:ugh:

[jymil]

Bristow somehow manages to always send back a reply. At least an automated response acknowledging reception would be nice so that I know there was no technical problem.

[hueyracer]

Bristow, CHC and other big companies can afford to pay for IT-guys and automated systems....most small companies can´t even afford a secretary to sit at a desk 8 hours a day....

[jymil]

Bond plays in the same league as Bristow and CHC.

[Helo-Helo]

How about another position in a healthy company ? Like OPS or analyst with the intention to climb in the ladder for a later pilot position ? Is that realistic ?

Or what about jobs in Brazil ? Is the business really growing there as expected like 2 years ago ? I'm just open for any advice. Thx for all the replies.

[Adroight]

PremiAir Aviation Services Limited is a leading supplier of pilot services to Police Air Support Units within the UK. We are looking for a Police Helicopter Pilot to join our NPAS Benson team and also a Floating Police Helicopter Pilot to provide cover at this and its other bases as and when required.


Not sure how secure this job would be considering Premiairs problems.

[Michel GAY]

I think that this job is only for citizen poeple.

Have a great week end

[Brilliant Stuff]

The Benson job is secure. Whatever happens to PremiAir NPAS still need their aircraft flying.....

[Adroight]

Yes but who pays the pilots wages?

[Hedski]

Easy there Bravo73. Don't forget they didn't want you first time round....:=

[Bravo73]

Huh? I think you must be mistaking me with someone else.

:suspect:

I don't really think taking a non-pilot job will bring you any closer to a pilot job, because you can't log any flight time this way. And the Brazilians are pretty protective of their job market.

Looking to hear from JAA AW139 Captains with offshore experience for an immediate start in Denmark. 14on/14off shift pattern with excellent daily rate, flights and acc included. call 01412705007!

[Humane Maverick]

Hello...

Can you give more infirmation?

Any e-mail address, or website?

Thank you!

[Bravo73]

call 01412705007!

FYI, that number is for a recruitment agency (FPS Aviation (http://aviation.firstpeoplesolutions.co.uk/)).

However, I suspect that the job itself is with Dancopter.

[kmax]

Bel-air ??? They are using 139.

[Bravo73]

Bel-air ??? They are using 139.

Could well be. They are currently advertising:

[jes120]

It is for Belair

[JulieAndrews]

Like with any company it is wise to do your homework - especially so with regards BelAir - imho!

[Brilliant Stuff]

NPAS are looking for pilots as well.

[Humane Maverick]

Hi, friends.

Anyone can tell me if it is true that CHC is changing the roster into a 4 on/off in Nigeria?

Thanks!

[flightfollower]

Heard that CHC was looking for pilots on different types and multiple contracts in Africa? Can any one shed some light on this?

[Keepitup]

Helicopter engineers wanted for a PART 145 Maintenance Organisation based in the North West, England.

Experience on R22/44, B206, B430, A109, EC350, S76 preferred.

[Bell pilot]

any news phi hiring Bell 412 pilot for EMS in saudi arabia?

[Brilliant Stuff]

that sounds like Brian Seedle in Blackpool.... I could be wrong.

[mikelimapapa]

I got an email from a PHI recruiter a couple weeks ago, they are currently seeking Muslim pilots for Mecca and Medina. I have a feeling once they can man the bases, they will take over the rest of the contract from ADA.

[vfr440]

:ok::ok:BS - No, Brian Seedle closed up shop last year, think this is the new and vibrant UK Aviation Services with a bunch of expensive and immaculate VIP machinery in their hangar. Think business is expanding there good on them ~ VFR

[Keepitup]

Hey VFR,

You are correct, new company set up in August 2012, business expanding fast and require engineers.

Keepitup

[pilot and apprentice]

Humane Maverick:Hi, friends.

Anyone can tell me if it is true that CHC is changing the roster into a 4 on/off in Nigeria?

Thanks!

I believe no.

[dinofootball]

Im a experienced pilot (FAA IFR/TC CPL/Australian CPL IREX) with low IFR/offshore time with a 412 endorsement looking for work to build offshore time, cojo or cpt, anyone have any insight please pm me
thanks

[imuney]

dinofootball,

try Heli Malongo in Angola, they still operate B412's. Unfortunately this type of A/C is on it's way out. Only a few operators still use them for offshore work.

Minimum requirements for international offshore work at this time are around:

3000+ TT Helicopter
500h in Type
300-500h Offshore
500-1200 Multi Engine (depending on customer)

[dinofootball]

Thanks

Yeah its a matter of getting those mins that make it a bit difficult

Thanks for the heads up

[hueyracer]

How can you call yourself an "experienced pilot" if you don´t have the "standard" minimums?

[dinofootball]

I am experienced in flying in many areas around Canada, but do not have offhshore time. So someone who has only flown offshore their whole career and has never put on winter covers or had a 100+ ft line on is experienced?

Its like an engineer who has never worked on a rig or a geologist who has never been in the field, are they experienced?

[griffothefog]

DF,

Well said, you will find quite a few pilots on this forum who are comfortable in their zone and have much to contribute from the bubble..:E

Good luck :ok:

[Clavileño]

Here you have some interesting job for a 412 rider, one for captains and the other for copilots. In the last one the offshore experience requirements could match for you if you don´t mind to fly from the left seat. Moreover it´s in the caribbean ;)

Hello Folks,

anybody could give me the CP's contacts for Bristow Carribean?...I´ve already applied trought the website but this method for me has been always just a waste of time.

Any help much appreciated.

212

[dinofootball]

For Bristow in the Carribean, seems like you must be a national to work there, much like Brasil.

You can find the phone number for them on their website and the CP there was easy to talk to and made himself available.

[hueyracer]

I have spoken to one guy at Bristow a couple of years ago-a friend who was working for them established the contact.

For the T&T job, one need to have a valid work visa AND a T&T license.
Just have a look at the T&T CAA website...
