Fluffy,
How much money are you willing to bet on the Aerogulf/CHC rumor??
(the 139 part is a different story...)

fluffy5

well I'm not a betting fluffy, but I had it on good authority they were tendering there contracts and CHC were sniffing around for the coming year.

You are right that there is a tender coming out for the contract this year, and I would guess that CHC could be one of the sniffers...

paco

Well, 21st kind of said it, but CHC getting that contract is by no means a foregone conclusion.....

Sorry I don't see the connection with Falcon. Is CHC getting the ADMA contract

the delaminator

To bump this up.

I just got a letter from a friend and he has taken a job with Falcon.

So who know what is actually going on there.

Outwest

A letter????........do people still write letters

allan60

maybe the airplane crasher or the canook still write letters...

Was your friend rated on the 412? I gave Cal Fryer a call a month or so back to see what the possibilities and terms and conditions are at Falcon.

He was only interested in 412 rated crew so that conversation fizzled out pretty quickly.....

I sent in my application in after Falcon's advert for 109 pilots a few weeks back.

I haven't heard anything back and was wondering if anyone else who applied might have had a response?

If their past performances are anything to go by chances are you probably won't good luck anyway

pookie1

You are right - I haven't had the courtesy of a reply and neither has another well qualified friend of mine who also sent in an application. When they are actively looking for crew and get reasonable applications one would at least expect some kind of response. I'm not sure if the disinterest comes from Falcon or Greystones who seem to be their recruiting agency.

Anyway, in my opinion, a turnaround in the market is coming in over the next year or two and the well qualified pilot demand is going to outstrip the supply. The companies which develop a poor reputation now, during the trying times, are going to have trouble attracting the right staff in time to come.

allan60

its their loss buddy...right to the target

Does anyone have any info regarding the two incidents that FAS had out at the rigs a few weeks back? Understand one 412 had to be craned off after under slung ops went wrong and the other had a boom strike and was repaired by ADA.

Seems have been kept very quite this one

the delaminator

He's rated on the 139. also he was not hired through Greystone or whoever and the money sounds OK. Not wonderful but OK.

They are talking to pilots rated on 412 and 139 apparently.

As far as not getting a reply to a cv this seems to be an industry standard now. Institutionalised bad manners I call it. CHC warns on their website they don't reply to CV's unless they want to hire you. No reply = no thanks.
