Oh really, I heard the opposite. Of all the multitude of applications received, 16 had a tick in every box, including AW139 endorsements, offshore and IFR etc etc. However, I also heard that guys without AW139 endorsements scored interviews as well. And guys without any offshore time scored interviews too. So they must have a big pool of people to choose from who can do the job, from which they only need to crew one helicopter on equal time tours. It will be interesting to see which of the two realities prevails.
