how old for CHC or Bristow
Can anyone provide some inside info as what is the "unoffical" policy at Bristow and CHC regardling the preferred age when recruiting their co - pilots. I'm in my late forties, I have several hundred hours, been flying for 7 years, I meet their minimum requirements, have applied several times, know younger pilots with less hours getting on as co - pilots. I have never got an interview.
I have been told by current employees of Bristow and CHC in Australia if you are over 40 year old unless you have a few thousand hours, they will not look at you.
By the way this practice in Australia is illegal. So does anyone know of anyone over 40 getting onto with Bristow or CHC as a co - pilot and if so how hours did they have? Any with less than 1000?
