This is the company who, when I asked to see the ops manual to check the 18 hour flight duty period they had given me for FDTL restrictions, told me that the manual was 'in Spain' and that if I had any questions I should 'call the CP and ask for clarification'. Needless to say he wasn't in.

The co-pilot that they sent to work with me was also not type rated! I was told that as it was a single pilot helicopter this was 'normal' - even though the customer required a two-crew operation.

My LPC with the company on this aircraft that I had not flown for 3 years was a 15 minute flight where the TRE got lost and we did no emergencies or OEI work.

I didn't stay long.
