[Monty1977]

Hi folks,

I'm looking for some advice from people knowing the offshore pilot business on the North Sea.

I currently have EASA ATPL(H)+IR theory and just finished CPL(H). I have about 300 hrs on helicopter.

Now I'm wondering if taking the step to invest into IR(H)+ ME(IR) type rated on EC135 will make me employable for a co-pilot job offshore in the North Sea. (from UK, Belgium or Holland). I'm 35 years old.
How's the job-market doing nowadays?

Anyone advice on this?

Thanks in advance!

[Hedski]

There's a shortage of pilots. Do it....!!!!

[helimutt]

What shortage?

[Monty1977]

There seems to be one constant, people do no agree on which direction the market is moving :-)

Manufacturers are talking about expansions in the offshore industry, producing new helicopter models, etc.. and pilots are looking rather negative towards the chances for employment as a new pilot in this sector..?

[400hover]

what shortage?! THE Shortage, that one that we have always heard for years, the one that will bring jobs and careers to all the helicopter pilots, the one that was predicted by Nostradamus...
In resume, the one that will always happen but in fact it never did.

Lets take it serious, there is a small shortage. Go and ask the companies like Bristow, CHC, ADA, Guld, Dan, NHV, and others... there is a shortage of pilots, to be more precise, there is a shortage of Captains and First Officers experienced and qualified in AW139, AW189, S76, S92, AS332L#, EC155, EC175, EC225, AS365N#, Bell412/212. Do i miss any?

This is the shortage... so unless you belong to this group of pilots with this CV, there is no shortage.

Sorry, thats my opinion.

[VEMD]

I completely agree with you 400.:ok:

[Hedski]

Type ratings are still being provided to those who meet requirements and acceptable to the employer. Hence there's a wait for places on type rating courses.

[helimutt]

My CV must just suck then :oh::E

[Hedski]

Na, just yer accent Mikey.....

Hawaaaaaaaaa......!!!!!!

[Brilliant Stuff]

Well the North Sea did suck up a lot of Police and corporate pilots last summer, so I think you can call that a shortage...

[Arm out the window]

Re rotary jobs - if there are any experienced instructors out there who want a job on the beautiful Atherton Tablelands, North QLD, I know of a bloke who would be happy to share some of those extremely valuable Robbie hours!

Seriously though, PM me if interested.

[nomorehelosforme]

I'm not a pro pilot, but you guys must be dead jealous and gaging for the opportunity of a flying career in Nepal! VF is obviously a great pilot and camera man.

Whoever gets the job has big boots to follow!

I'm sure VF will be at your side!

[Miklavz]

EASA ATPL/H, IR, FI, TRI, IRI, 5,5Kh, 2Kh offshore captain, looking for rotation job on my type - or to transfer to AW139;
If anybody knows anything I Will appreciate...

[pablocuestas1]

Hello, I would like to apply for a job in any company of helicopters in this area and all of themaasking me about the salary that I want, im experienced helicopter pilot and I would like to know the salary media for off shore operations. The company's are in Qatar an Abhudabi thanks

***

[imuney]

I believe an ICAO English Proficiency Level 4 or above is also required..... just saying.

[pablocuestas1]

Im ICAO ATPH, IR, IV, EC135-AS350, A 109, LAMA, UH 1, ICAO level IV and 2500 hs. I would like to know if my experience it's enough for applying in a off shore job in the middle East

[spinwing]

Mmmm ...

Pablo .... try phoning Abu Dhabi Aviation (phone number on their website) and ask to talk to the Chief Pilot Arturo Cruz ...

He is a spanish speaker and will be able to tell you if he can use you .. with your hours expect to only be offered a co-pilot position initially.

You will have to fill out their "online application' which will then go to the 'employment committee' ... expect this process to go on for some time ...

Good luck ...

[Hippolite]

There is a large company in Australia beginning with B and ending with W who will be recruiting in February 2014.

[hueyracer]

You´ve got an ATPL, but you´re only rated on SPH?
Maybe that´s the reason..

With 2500 hours, you´re still considered a "youngster"-so don´t be surprised when all they will offer you is a (junior)-copilot position...

[righopper]

I see Bristow are still looking for North Sea heli pilots. Along with add for pilots and direct entry Captains they are advertising a careers info day at Staverton.

https://bristowgroup.taleo.net/careersection/2/jobsearch.ftl?lang=en#

[jymil]

No way to get an entry-level copi job with Bristow unless you're a graduate of their own academy or have ME hours I.e. you need another job first, for which you usually have to sign a bonding agreement for some years. And then you might as well pursue your career elsewhere.

[b.a. Baracus]

Is that really the case? Would doing the MEIR with Bristow suffice or would they be looking for the CPL from their academy too? Can somebody explain the SEIR position at the moment. I hear Bond only accept the MEIR whereas perhaps Bristow and CHC are more inclined to upgrade to MEIR during the initial type rating? Any info much appreciated.

[jymil]

Bristow graduate means having done their JAA CPL course in Florida.

[jymil]

Official quote: "Candidates must have either completed their basic CPL H with ATPL theory at the Bristow Academy or have 500 multi engine time .."
I guess FAA CPL and plus JAA conversion is covered by that too, but not the JAA IR course only.

[Jet Ranger]

...and EASA/JAA ME/IR(H) is MUST HAVE. And they appreciate if you complete this rating in UK (Bristow Academy) ...

What is your opinion?

Does it do any good for someone looking for the job or is just a public relations advertising.

With regard to the QHCI job in Qatar, after the experience of a former colleague of mine, the way the Qatari's treat their ex-pats, I wouldn't touch that job with the sh1tty end of a stick.

[hueyracer]

Especially as you can´t use it for anything…you don´t get a license (that you can convert later on) nor a type rating (that you can use for anything afterwards)……

[212man]

So, where is the place and position for us, pilots?

They are not flying jobs, but require pilot or licensed engineer experience and qualifications....

You have a current Aircraft Maintenance Engineer’s License (EASA-66 Cat-B1/B2) or equivalent, or you could be a professional engineer with an aeronautical background. Alternatively, you could be a professional Pilot holding a valid fixed or rotary wing pilot license (ATPL or equivalent).

[Miklavz]

OK, is till cannot find the position; can you give me a hint in what field I should look?
RGDS, Mike

[HeliComparator]

I suspect you may have already failed the aptitude test, but if you click the link at the bottom that says "Apply now..." you get a new window showing the location - Netherlands (presumably The Hague), and the two types of job, Aviation Advisor and Aviation Logistics Manager. As previously stated, these jobs are not flying jobs but for ex-pilots who are now too decrepid to still fly or ex engineers who have skinned their knuckles once too often (and that's my application failed as well!).

[Tango123]

Anyone who has a guess estimate of how many pilots Starspeed is looking for?

Flightglobal:

Due to expansion, Starspeed would like to recruit experienced pilots to join our team:

Line Pilots & Training Captains on aircraft: S92, EC155, EC135, SK76

Additionally, we would be pleased to hear from Training Captains with IRI & TRI privileges to be based at our expanding Training facility at Kemble. Ideally ratings will be held on AS355 or A109, but type conversion will be provided to a suitable applicant.

Starspeed operates primarily in the management & charter roles, with a main base at Fairoaks although significant foreign travel must be anticipated, operating in pleasant locations.

Given our client profile, the following absolute minimum qualifications are required:

- EASA CPL or ATPL(H)
- 2000hrs helicopter time
- Instrument rating with significant IF experience
- Reside within 1.5hrs drive from Fairoaks
- Whilst not absolutely required, experience in operating from remote locations, in addition to Public Transport onshore UK would be an advantage

We regret that no communication may be entered into with applicants not meeting the minimum requirements.

Please send CV and covering letter to [email protected]

[sAviator]

Hi,

I was just wondering if anyone have ever been or known how is the Careers Day at Bristow?

Are there any opportunities to get a job?

Thanks

[helipiloto]

I wonder what type of pilots are joining Bond. They are, like all the other companies, looking for the best pilots out there at the lowest price. But I think this time Bond have beaten the competition. They are looking for experienced S-92 pilots with offshore experience and are offering 85,000 pounds per year gross salary which is around 4,320 pounds per month take home! A joke I think. I understand that for some this maybe a step up and that a job is a job, but those of you that are accepting these conditions are doing the rest of us too much harm.
Flying 19 demanding passengers around the NS in those horrible wx conditions and with all the pressures from management deserves a lot more salary than that!!

[Turkeyslapper]

They are looking for experienced S-92 pilots with offshore experience and are offering 85,000 pounds per year gross salary which is around 4,320 pounds per month take home!


Pilot is probably the lowest paid person on the aircraft (including the cleaning staff on the rigs) :}

Have to agree, lugging a bunch of people around in that crappy environment is certainly a challenging job that deserves a bit more. Just out of interest, what would a narrow body airline captain get in the UK - is it comparable to what these S92 are on?

Cheers

[Tandemrotor]

A single aisle airline jet captain would earn more in most (though not necessarily all!) UK airlines. Precisely how much more is a bit of a variable feast, but potentially approaching double that figure for a few.

I imagine a turbo-prop captain may be on an amount similar to the S92 figure?

However a jet (737/320) is likely to be capable of carrying 100-180 ish pax. Not the 19 of an S92. So I imagine economics come into the equation.

[26500lbs]

CHC Helikopter Service in Norway are recruiting. Don’t have a link, but sure someone will find one. 14/14 roster or 5/2/5/9. Several bases to chose from I believe.
Some of the best T’s and C’s in the industry I suspect.

[vaibronco]

Career Finder - CHC Helicopter (http://www.chc.ca/how-to-join-us/career-finder.aspx)

[FC80]

I'm not sure what planet people suggesting turboprop Captains are getting £85K are on. Info is freely available (and fairly accurate) on PPJN - even for the larger operators £60K is about as much as you're going to get... after having been there a long time.

Not saying 92 Captains aren't worth more, just pointing out that that end of the FW market isn't the place to look for 'but look what they get' comparisons.

When working as a contractor pilot in the UK, can anybody tell me how the taxes work when you live in a different country? Is tax taken out from your pay cheque by the employer? Or do you keep the full amount and then file your own taxes in your country of residence?
Thanks

[NRDK]

Nothing is certain but death and taxes :{

Try this

HM Revenue & Customs: Tax on UK income or capital gains for non-UK residents (http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/international/tax-incomegains.htm)

[tdaaviation]

Man with a 139 rating you can write your own ticket these days, you must have been flying with London Air or Orange. West Star had been looking for 139 drivers as of late, CHC of course as usual.

[Sloppy Link]

NRDK, and nurses.....

[rotorboy]

Redline- The offshore time is the tough one for clients these days unless , well your of the right passport.... then all the rules go out the window, ( time on type , ifr , etc)

Not the greatest these days, probably the worst paying, but CHC may be your best bet.

good luck.

[misterbonkers]

Over 5000 miles in 3 years?!? Now that is an achievement...! I'll do that in a month. Offshore sounds like an easy life. :}

[helimutt]

we probably fly over 500-600 miles a day offshore. Id think it'll be way more than 5000 miles in three yrs. :eek:

[212man]

Somewhere around 250,000 miles is nearer the mark, I'd have thought. I hope his inflight 'gross error checks' are more accurate! :ok:

Cobham Helicopter Services are currently seeking an AW139 Pilot to work on a contract with the Dutch Government in Curacao, Dutch East Indies.

You will need to be AW139 type rated and have an EASA part-med class one medical. You will have a minimum of 2500 total flying hours , Military Maritime low flying, 2 years operational SAR and NVG experience.

[JulieAndrews]

The "5000 miles/3-years" is obviously part of Bond's aircrew physco-babble test. I wonder if Captain Cooper had any idea of the drivel his face would be attached too?
Only explanation is that he is on the wind farm contracts - that would be nearer the mark - not sure why he would be taking so many technicians though...

[jhauma]

Oh everybody's god!!!. Hi there:

I'm a just finished student with 200h and type ratings H-269 & B-412!! What will I do with my life?? Where may I drive my life? Teoric ATPL H, CPL & IR JAA's license. MCC done to. I am reading your posts and I'm crying. :{. Any help for a novel pilot? :ugh:

[Bravo73]

Only explanation is that he is on the wind farm contracts

Or, he's just bit of a slacker... :E

[9514wmacki]

Congratulations on obtaining your licence,I know its a been a hard slog,but now is the time to keep fighting,never give up, and since you have come this far and now have a licence in your back pocket you are now in contention for a good job.
It will probadly be very difficult to get a SP job,your best option would be a P2 position on a larger type so its cv time to all the large companys or pay a personal visit (if you can and hand in your cv) try to get a minute with a flight ops manager even better find out his name and ask to see him.
Anyway good luck and you will get there.

[400hover]

Hey jhauma, you are from Spain and have Bell412/212... dont need to cry here, you can do it at INAER.

Why cant i quote a post??

[VEMD]

You have a bright future at INAER!! with a lack of pilots as they have, in a year or so you'll become a 412 HEMS captain!!
Dark side, your net income would be around 1500€ net for 25 on/5 off, with a 14 hrs duty time per day.

[400hover]

You cannot choose where to start... you start where is a position available... and with 412 you can start ahead!! And of course... Inaer is not the company of dreams, but its enough to start.

Hey guys. Finally I found a great job. B-412 offshore operation. 3on/3off. 4000km far my home. Good for a novel pilot.

Only say you thank you all about your advice!! :D:D:D

[helipiloto]

Congratulations jhauma. Which company will you be working for? 3 weeks on/off. Seems weird. Its the first time I hear that sort of rotation.
:ok:

[Miklavz]

Where did you find it? I'm also B412 rated, experienced in offshore but I just cannot find anything for almost 6 months.
Any suggestions? I'm EU citizen, EASA licence ATPL, TRI, FI, IRI?
Thanks in advance.
Mike

[tu154]

Gulf Helicopters and Inaer both operate the type, I believe. Most likely to be Gulf I'd say.

[212_Nightdipper]

Gulf has 6/6 and 8/4 rotations...at least in doha...INAER Italy 1/1... Spain 2/2....Mike you might wanna try Gulf Helicopters or Abu Dhabi Aviation...just my 2 cents...

[Miklavz]

Well, I did; one of my ex coleagues work there; however, Gulf, AbuDabi, both of them are taking B412 out of the use - only limited, a small number of them.
So thanks anyway, I have already tried both of them - and no reply since. Maybe i'm overqualified?
Any othe suggestions? Some small companies operating B412 on rotation basis?
Thanks in advance, Mike

[212_Nightdipper]

Mike, 412s are the majority and the backbone of ADA's fleet plus they're.looking for captains at the moment, give em a ring ...you might also want to.try falcon aviation services also in abu dhabi or CAT helicopters in spain...

[helipiloto]

Jhauma,
You wrote to this forum crying for help and then when others ask you a question you don`t bother replying?? .... Very nice!

:D :=

[Humane Maverick]

Hi, folks.

It seems thigs are moving a little bit...50 new guys for the business.

I wonder if there are that many rated guys around!

Regards.

[jhauma]

Man, I don't read everyday this forum!!!! Shall to be quietly and patIently.

I made a hard work by internet for 2weeks, morning and afternoon and i was lucky. I sent more than 80 emails for the same numbers of companies. I had so much lucky, I know it, but I am a worker. Lucky is for people who looks for it.

My company is a small company and they are not looking for another pilot yet. I have some good friends with B-412 rate and, maybe, they are first than you, don't you think?

Otherwise, I was searching with Helicopter History Site (http://www.helis.com) website. This is a world helicopter database. Search on this web and try to be a lucky man.

P.D.: focus on small companies. They don't have career or applicants flags. Send a CV and a presentation e-mail.

Never give up. Follow your dreams. Is the way to be closely happiness!!!

Good luck everybody!!!!

Just wondering if anyone needs, or knows someone who needs a greenhorn?

CPL-H (Canada), vfr night rating, 107.5hrs, endorsed on 22, 44, 206.

Have completed a 2 month base manager contract, 2-4 machines at any time.

Comfortable working in cold climate, remote areas, isolation for extended periods of time.

Willing to work anywhere worldwide and do any sort of work that may be available.

[Miklavz]

Jhauma, congratulations; however, you are not the only hard worker here.
I wish you a good luck with small company; I work for some small companies and finally quit - there might be no seniority lists in ones which is plus. Minus is tipically type and location of work, duty times, heli maintenance and vulnerability against big players.
I hope it wont be the situation with yours.
Regarding the priority for employment, while you mention it: It is still a moto: It doesn't matter what do you know but who do you know.
Best regards, happy landings. Mike

[jhauma]

Sorry if anyone get angry by my posts. I know everyone are great workers, I hope it for yourselves. I want help any one but people shall be patient. I get a good job for myself, I'm sure.

Best regards. Nice flights!

[hueyracer]

That´s exactly what´s wrong with the young ones on these forums (and in real life):

They come here asking for help….and as soon as they find a job: "Bam-f*' you all…i get my buddies in, you assh****"…

My company is a small company and they are not looking for another pilot yet. I have some good friends with B-412 rate and, maybe, they are first than you, don't you think?


Don´t come crying for help again….and remember-this is a VERY small industry……
:ugh:

[chopperaguilera]

Totally agreed with hueyracer comment !!!

[Miklavz]

Agree with hueyracer; actually, after working for some time for small/family companies I thing it would be nice if we open a new thread: "Companies one would like to avoid"
On the ozher side, this a small world and you can never tell when boomerang Will come back to you.
RGDS, Mike

[Modtro]

Hi all,

jhauma, you might be a novel pilot just starting, but you are not a kid anymore. You wrote four posts, the first one crying for help, the second one thanking for the help and adviced received, the third one"Bam-f*' you all…i get my buddies in, you assh****" as hueyracer well said...

Sorry dude but your attitude is just wrong and here is a free advice even if you are not asking for one: learn to keep your mouth shut, your eyes and ears open and come back down to earth.

In four posts you managed to show a great lack of respect to so many people who have sacrificed a lot to get where they are and one of those unwritten laws, help others without expecting anything in return except a few beers.

I have helped others too and received a lot of help and support, friends and complete strangers even if I was on a job hunt myself, but it's not about my buddies or myself first.

It took me a year to get my first job as a copilot (10.000 km from home), my second job got me a little bit closer to home (6.000 km away), I then had another year of search to find my third job (also 10.000 km), which lasted 6 months (one of those small operators everyone should avoid). I consider myself also novel pilot with a little bit over 1.200 hrs and there is always something new to learn.

I am currently unemployed and on another job hunt, but I'm not complaining or whining around. There is always someone else who has it more difficult than my or yourself.

Neverless I whish you good luck for yourself and many happy landings.

Regards.

Good Luck!

I know I write a lot here to be a johnny-come-lately, but still...

xtremalsound, in the first job position you "forgot" one zero. It's 6.000 turbine
hours as PIC, not 600!!! hehehe.

If you copy/paste from job websites such as Aviation Job Search you should make sure that the information is correct. In this case, it's not. In the Oaklands Global website there's no such a job position.

I think some webs are no more than scam to needed pilots. They just copy/paste information from other websites when they don't even "create" fictitious job positions to keep our attention. And some of them even try to take money from us...:*

[xtremalsound]

I didn't forget any zero, it was copied like it is... you can check the link below....

Martinch,

I think you are totally stupid.

I think you really don't know what you are talking about.
Of course there is plenty of imigrants in Spain... But not less than uk, france or another country in europe. In france there is plenty of imigrants from Morroco and anothers African countries, even more than in Spain because they speak the same language.. uk is full up of Nigerian and another nacionalities... So the imigration is the same for almost of the european countries...

So please don't be asshole and think before to write.

Anyway this is a helicopter forum, so don't waist more time in stupid sentences..

I see your post was edited. Makes me wonder whether you 'scaled down' your verbiage to the above or made an effort on the readability side alone.
I *think* you shall improve your English grammar/syntax understanding, before slinging such verbal abuse, especially as my comment/remark to the specific misunderstanding was reasonably mild and to the point statement of what caused previous 'heat'. Then you come along and start another against me.

The remark on work rights and only repeated relative ease of sorting legal status/work rights from non-EU countries, with or without EU passport (one of MERCOSUR could be enough), in Spain and migration there as Spanish/Portuguese speaking from Latin/Central America. How does that make me what you described me so rudely?

Spain and Portugal are different in terms of migration flow compared to UK and France due to descendants in South America, special residence arrangements and short temp residence to get full PR and nationality in Spain for Latinos, plus 'inheriting passports'. That's on top of people overstaying, breaking rules, legalising themselves, smuggled in country etc. Now that's digressing further to what you mention.

What makes you think I know nothing and have not experienced some things in person or via my Spanish/Spanish speaking friends? Why would I drag here all the marasm, social and economical issues and migration in different parts of Europe, when it Spain and contract/employer sponsorship was mentioned. Sure, my remark was light-hearted enough and tad off-topic, yet your post is nothing but superfluous.

Bravo73: A contract alone will not be enough. The hiring company will also have to sponsor the applicant for a visa, unless they are willing to hire illegal immigrants. Which might well be the case in Spain.
Let me break it down.
Contract not enough -> employer sponsorship needed if no other work rights
unless - look up dictionary. This subclause is tongue-in-cheek, stating LESS LIKELY possibility.
Might well be the case - could be truth/happen (need to sponsor applicant for work permit as needed).
How exactly did these words warrant such hot-headed reaction?
By misunderstanding non-simple English.

How did my stating some facts and not being 'personal' against Spanish pilots (blame the government or EU for all the sticky social issues), warrant your verbal abuse? Again, what I mentioned. Being hot-headed, jumpy, getting irritated before thinking things through.
I'm not holding it against you or other posters and taking it personal. After all, I'm fluent in Spanish, worked/lived with Spanish, have Spanish pilot friends who mentioned various things, been in Spain to see the other sides to migration. So I see why all this happened.

I recommend YOU tone down your opinion and avoid verbal abuse and not lecture others about your opinion. Otherwise you're just seen as loud & rude.

[palacio802]

Xtremalsound, If you didn't forget it, the web did. Please read my last message again, third paragraph.

The website you took the text from is wrong. This was a job position originally posted, as it states, in Oaklands Global Ltd website. And the correct number was 6.000 flight hours (which is more consistent with a Chief of Pilots position, I have to say). In addition, at this moment, the job position is NOT in the original website any more, but you can apply for an In-flight Chef position if you can cook :)

Fujian Xinmei :

They are a conglomerate. It appears that they are already operating some helicopters (no dedicated website yet). You'll actually be shocked when you visit the website. Nothing to indicate that they are operating helicopters. Their core business is in agriculture.

Bought a total of 55 helis. 5 to be delivered this year and 50 over next 5 years.

update: They have 4 helicopters now. 3 for flight ops, 1 for training.
Future ops plans: 1. Heli-evac; 2. pilot training ; 3. aircraft sales; 4. flight maintenance; 5. aircraft assembly(?) 6. Flying Club; 7. crop dusting; 8. aerial photography.

Global Vectra in Mumbai has (or had) quite a number of 412's, seems to me they were looking for pilots not too long ago. That might have been for 139's though, good luck.

[prehar]

Dreviator ,
Global Vectra does have Bell 412 s and I think they aren't recruiting for any expat drivers for them .
They did hire some expat Captains for the 139 s a few years ago and more recently have been giving their experienced 412 Captains the dual AW 139 ratings .
Methinks the Middle East ...... Abu Dhabi Aviation , Falcon or Gulf Helicopters may be your best bet .

Happy Hunting ......

Employment | Northern Helicopters (http://www.nheli.se/employment/)

Non-FI pilots who train with them can be hired. 4 positions.

[Chorbington]

Northern helicopters:

If you already hold an FI rating you are NOT eligible for application.

Northern Helicopters is a company with the employment policy of equal opportunity.

I know what "policy of equal opportunity" means, but I still found it funny to read.

[Spunk]

Wondering if they will guarantee it in writing BEFORE you sign up for the training programm :confused:

[Sick or ski]

If they hired people with FI's already they wouldn't get to sell them an FI course for 20K and then employ them for peanuts on a by the hour contract.

[evergreen139]

"policy of equal opportunity" mmm....)
Well on one hand it's just like said above : pay a lot,and earn peanuts...
But on the other hand there are not so many opportunities for a low time pilots to become experienced ones:* and I think they will find all 4 candidates in some time...

[Peter PanPan]

Yep, these guys at Northern are full of tricks. Not that long ago they were happy to advertise vacancies for instructor positions with a minimum requirement of FAA CFII as long one had experience. You'd call them up and the story would be different... Actually we'd like you to do your FI with us... Reminds of an outfit in Southern California - same sneaky caliber. Watch out!

[MAD Boom]

So a company that would like FIs would like you to do the FI training with them. Is that such a big ask?

Wondering if they will guarantee it in writing BEFORE you sign up for the training programm

Probably not.

on the other hand there are not so many opportunities for a low time pilots to become experienced

Exactly. This is an opportunity for those who genuinely want a shot at a flying job and are looking for a way in. Yes, it comes at a cost and without a guarantee but most things do. Anything worth having in life will always come with a gamble. Roll the dice people; there are plenty out there who have left the casino with full pockets.

It seems there are too many people out there who want everything for free.....

Uni-Fly A/S i hiring experienced pilots and engineers type rated on EC135T for off shore hoist operation in Eastern UK, long term employment, based at Humberside Airport. See web page www.uni-fly.dk (http://www.uni-fly.dk) and look under jobs for more information!

[palacio802]

Yes, MAD boom, it's a big ask. But nothing new.

They could hire you with the FI course expenses being part of your salary. This would
not be that bad. But here is different. You have to put your money before. And if they
reject people with FI done already means that they don't need FI's but somebody to
finance their bussiness. Totally unnaceptable (IMHO).

[MAD Boom]

I have to agree with you sir in this instance. I stand corrected.

Often its who you know, not what you know or what your quals are. Just keep plugging away and you'll get a break if you show willingness.

Good luck.

[hueyracer]

It´s not only hours-you know that…

It´s having the right amount of hours…the right experience….the right type ratings…the right licenses….the right work visa/right to live and work somewhere…..and: The right idea of how much money you can expect...

[Devil 49]

44 pilot positions listed.

[Miklavz]

I don't know about the others, but as B-412 pilot I obviously don't have any chance for job. I am looking now for 8 months and nothing is happening. I tried a million different approachec but tipically no reply or strange working conditions.
Mike

[Helinaut]

Miklavz,
There are several companies looking for 412 Captains on line, I guess you tried them all?

Do you have a strong CV and cover letter? Have you had a friend check your CV/Application?

Strange working conditions....sometimes strange working conditions are better than no job at all, except if you have a lot of cash in your bank account :cool:

Have you tried Caverton in Nigeria?

Good luck and hope you will find something soon!

[spinwing]

Mmmm ...

... Have you tried Caverton in Nigeria ? .....

Do Caverton actully operate any 412's in Nigeria at present? :confused:

[pohm1]

Do Caverton actually operate any 412's in Nigeria at present?

Yes, they do.

[Miklavz]

Thank you, Helinaut! I just send today my CV to Calverton - I hope I have the correct email adress. Othervise I would appreciate if someone can send me the correct one. The one I use is from their web page.... [email protected]
And yes, I tried to apply to most of them; USA is out of possibilities because I don't have Green cart.
For the rest of the world - allmost no replies.
Anyway, I'm ready to work anywhere - OK, almost anywhere. So, any help?
Thanks in advance.
Mike

[griffothefog]

I think Caverscam had one 412 on a police contract in Lagos and another had picked up a short contract for Totaldisaster near Warri, but that was over a year ago, so I'm guessing just one operating for the police now. All the majors utilise 139 :ok:
However, this is a rumour network and I don't actually exist :eek:

[Helinaut]

I see the Caverton 412's flying at NAF Base and if I remember correctly, they were just recently looking for 412 Pilots.

[Helinaut]

Griffo...All the "majors" are utilizing 139? Hmmm...I guess Bristow is not a major right?!?! Next time you taxi out at NAF base have a look around and then tell me what you see. 139's?
BTW, I wish Bristow would have 139's...I would only need two tours to be out of there :ok:

[xtremalsound]

Caverton has two bell 412's at the moment and a thrid one coming shortly. Two would be based in lagos and the third one is going to be based in ph for a total contract.
Now one is in lagos and the second one in PH flying with total.

As far as I know they are not hiring any bell 412 pilot at the moment....

Cheers!

I have just discovered this forum and I have to say how much I appreciate the folks who have taken the time to post.

I'm always looking for "the next" job, even though I'm working, as I think many here do. I got my training thru the military and have only been working the civil sector for 3 years. Even though my training was, to me, "hard won", I find that I'm still a neophyte on the outside.

A few observations for those who are just starting out. Kudos for the dedication and energy required to acquire your training on the civil side and build your hours to get the jobs. Not sure I could have put up with the 'suck' that is required on that route. Don't give up. Another truth that I've found, which has been stated here already, ...... a tremendous amount depends on who you know. Network, network, network! Timing and willingness also help. Risks in this business are abundant and not just in the air.

Off my soapbox.....

I'm looking to get into O&G offshore. I have a lot of twin turbine time, mainly S70 and a FAA ATPH. The only type I have which is being used offshore is S332 (400 hrs).

Question: How often do companies give type training for a/c they fly, when required, and what is the best way to approach them?

[bigRed87]

2500hrs T.O.T.
2300hrs AS350, mainly sling load operations in the mountains of northern Norway.

FAA CPL + IR
EASA(JAA) ATPL (H) VFR + soon IR

Please contact me if interested.
Mainly looking for twin helicopter jobs.

[email protected]

[Bravo73]

Question: How often do companies give type training for a/c they fly, when required,

Very often. However you will need (as a minimum) an EASA CPL(H)/IR. (Presuming, of course, that you will be looking to work offshore in Europe).


and what is the best way to approach them?

Applying for an advertised position is normally the best way! The last time I looked, all 3 major UK offshore operators were advertising for pilots. And lots of the other European offshore operators are also advertising.

[vinceairsnow]

do not know actually if i can put an offer here. We are looking for a friendly young cplh qualified enstrom280FX. The job is for sightseeing flights in grenoble area. The pay is not that big as you fly piston and we start the operation, you get a fix salary + flight time bonus. Write to [email protected] or [email protected].

[BPositive]

I'm looking into the EASA certifications, however, this begs for more opinion.

I'm 55. Not sure the investment of money and time into EASA certs would have time to pay off. I'm primarily looking in geographical areas that are rotational and take less investment to convert the FAA ATPH, ie Africa, etc.

So far, the conversion to EASA sounds like a giant PITA :*

[harveyst]

Hi everybody,
Ive been reading through this thread today with a heavy heart!! Im currently debating jacking in my regular job and getting my head in to completing my helicopter training. But when I look at the websites for jobs, they say you need 500+ hours!
The way im reading it is basically, 'you cant get experience without a job, but you cant get a job without experience', is that about right? Ive seen that bristow will take you if you do your CPL/IR with their acadamy in Florida, does anybosy know if you have to do all the hour building with them too, or just do CPL course?
Thanks
By the way, this is a great forum for discussion and really helps you open your eyes before making any big designs - so thanks again, old timers :)

[GoodGrief]

There's no hour building at the academy. You have to do the full course.
Graduating and getting your license is no guarantee for a job.
You'll be evaluated from day one and if you don't fit into their psychological / character profile you're out.

[harveyst]

Thanks goodgrief!
Realistically, it seems that you wont be getting a job with 200 hrs and CPL/IR anywhere - or is that just me being a bit negative? If only Suzi Air did helicopters, lol!

[zippiesdrainage]

Hello, I'm looking for possible helicopter pilot positions to keep me busy during the off season. I'm located in the US (CFII) and have over 2000 hours Total Time (almost all mountainous) with only about 70 hours Turbine. I would love to find an entry level turbine job where I can start really roping in the turbine time. At this point with 2000 piston, any more and I'll just be spinning my wheels and not making myself any more employable. I've been watching the Gulf companies since they are usually the only ones hiring for what I'm looking for in the off-season, but I haven't seen any of them hiring in a really long time. PS checking the PHI website, their jobs are now listed through Facebook and mention a "Jobs Tab" but I have never been able to find it on their Facebook page.
Thanks in advance.

[Bravo73]

I'm afraid to say but at the age of 55, you are very, very unlikely to get a co-pilot position on the North Sea. And as you've already said, you are also very unlikely to see any 'return of investment' on an EASA conversion.

Good luck with your search but I think that you might struggle without lots of applicable experience behind you.

[Devil 49]

"During the off-season"?... Frankly, that might be hard for potential employers to overlook. As you mention the Gulf, for PHI openings, click "Careers" at the top of this page

PHI, Inc - The Total Helicopter Company (http://www.phihelico.com/)

Less familiar with Bristow, but looks like this link might be searchable:

Bristow - bristowgroup.com (http://app01.bristowgroup.com/careers/positions.php)

I think this will work for ERA Helicopters:

https://erahelicopters.mua.hrdepartment.com/hr/ats/JobSearch/index/searchType:quick

If you have sufficient night and an IFR rating, the EMS side of the industry might be a way to slowly build some turbine time. But now my fingers are cramping up... Good luck.

Hello fellow pilots! There is a resourcing company rising up around, they called Magenta Aviation! They're on linkedin, facebooks, etc

They have strong communication channel with the pilots that applied to their services.

But, i havent heard or read about them in any place. Does someone have something about them?

[Miklavz]

It's name is IvyExec; it is on LinkedIn; but I am not so sure about their power as it is more or less corporate oriented. Check it out.
There is, of course, a string - you have to give them credit card so after trial they Will charge you automatically.
What we all need is a good agent, even if he takes some percent of sallary. Unfortunatelly, I didn't find one yet.
RGDS, Mike

Going to be "military" style of flying in crisis regions….

If you are not up to sleeping in tents/flying in hostile environment (where people actually trying to shoot at you, and where mosquitos try to infect you with malaria)-stay away….if you got experience in these environments, and o have the necessary experience-give it a try…

[turbinturbin]

OK, I have been living in camps and flown in remote places, but don´t think I would like to be shot at.
Thanks for the info.

Nope…its not them looking for pilots for this job…


But KEA is actually recruiting….

Pilots MUST have Bell 412 experience and/OR NVG-experience and experience in remote locations….


Their jobs are actually quiet cosy…nice set-up, but nevertheless living "in the bush"...

Admit 9-5 sounds good but I would have thought the real Benefit of this job is it is Aerial work and only requires a class 2 medical and you don't have to retire at 60. No getting to the end of your career with 6/7 years left to full pension and no jobs available.
