Considering a move to African West Coast

2k hrs total time 1000 hrs offshore, instrument rating with 70 hrs actual, 600 hrs H-60 100 hrs Bell 212. No S76 time.

Currently flying EMS making 60k. I've heard that SIC pilots can make twice as much as a SIC in west africa, I've been told I'm not eligible for Captain because I don't have time in type. Thats fine with me. I'm only considering a move to West Africa for the 6 and 6 work schedule and the money.

For the guys that know do I have the minimums to get hired on as a SIC and with who? Who are the players there? I know this has been mentioned before but from what I can tell things seem to be extremely fluid there.

Are there any hints or advice you can give me? Very much appreciated!
