Not sure if this is true, but through the grapevine I heard that 2 of the GOM operators have recently increased their requirements to 2500hrs in the light that may of the striking PHI pilot are now applying with them.
With PHI only have low requirements to fill seats lost due to the strike, this leaves many in a very uncomfortable situation. That to get a start in the offshore industry they have to cross a union line.
Not something that I for one would do.
Is there anyone out there working for the big GOM operators that can confirm this?
PS. If you want to bash the union or phi please use another thread
