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!
We have former H60 guys out here. They all had to go the same road as you now must. Go get hired on in the GOM and put in your time there for a few years and get a command seat in the GOM. With that on your resume, the world will pretty much be your oyster. Till then west Africa will remain off limits to you, sorry.
