Hello TP,
There is a certain need of young pilots in hems and OS market due to new european regs regarding 2000 working hours/year limit.
Big companies are hiring 300hours newbees as copilots with 1000€ entry salary......

As long as I know there is some new ENI contracts for OS market in the north sea and the biggest company Elilario needs FO's.
Also we are now starting the renewal of the national helicopter pilots contract......expired in 2004

......blood will flow!
ciao
