"I believe that the expats go to Flight Safety, what happens with the local pilots. Do they all go to FSI as well????"
Heli-Jet,
Yes, they do. In fact there are more dollar$ spent on training locals than expats...
Now, did you hear the story when CHC arrived in, for them new territory and not being familiar with local currency (CFA) by mistake punched wrong numbers on the calculator, adding one zero in error and local copilot got an offer which was more than his expat Captain's.
What is the expat Captain supposed to do? Change his GO contract for a local one??
