for a moment I thought Iīm doing something wrong. 3500TT, two ICAO ATPīs, JAA CHPL, offshore IFR experience and unemployed.........the market is tight right now!
imuney, have you considered Doha at Gulf Helicopters? A friend of mine was called back recently after a 5 year break as they needed crews.
Yannis, if you can bear it and can get your head around studying for a JAA licence and then forking out the cost for the flight test, IR, etc there is always a good chance of getting into the North Sea with low hours when things pick up again. The major north sea companies do like to see someone who is willing to go the extra mile to secure a position. You may even find that they will sponsor you in the right circumstances. I don't know if there are any companies providing cadetships these days, but it would do you no harm to contact the majors and get your name in the loop.
Other wise the supposed easiest route is the instructor road to hour build, but do you have the temperament for it? There is nothing worse than the low time, hour building instructor who cannot communicate the skills required and who doesn't have the students welfare in sight.
Good luck. We have all been there with low time. Some day you will look back and think "was I ever there"
