I've seen the IR sponsorship but sadly I'm about two months late for that. Aside from an S92 FO position that has been advertised on Bristow's "Jobs" page since much earlier this year, I don't see any more positions being up for grabs. I'm fine with covering my own IR(H) costs, as long as I know where to send my applications to when it's done in Jan/Feb. Might not be the right thread for it but would be nice to know which bases/operators are happy to consider ab-initio FOs
