They are probably more likely to get someone whos been working for them a singel IR then someone from the street. And by then youŽll have the required hours.
Laggie,
I suggest that you do a lot more research about the work Bond do. (This is the second time that you have mentioned 'vip'. I know that they mention it on their website but, FYI, Bond Air Services are currently not very big players on the onshore UK charter market.)
Pay particular attention to what each job
actually involves and how keen operators are to have specialists for certain jobs, not 'generalists'. Also have a look at the different payscales for Bond Offshore and Bond Air Services. Then, maybe you'll start to understand why few pilots actually
want to make the move from offshore to onshore.
IIRC, one of the Bond Offshore pilots posted earlier on this thread. Maybe he can help you out with your research...
