What actually do thay mean with term "Global" or "International operations", is that some independant part of the company, far away from other parts or ...? Which part of the World they operate and for how long is that, do they move every few months?
Bristow is divided into business units. EBU = European Business Unit based in Aberdeen UK with a SAR contract in Holland. NABU = North American Business Unit based in Lafayette USA with operations mainly in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM). WABU = West African Business Unit, Nigeria, AUSBU, Australia etc. etc.

IBU is the International Business Unit and operates everywhere else otside of these areas. IBU contracts tend to be short term (3 - 24 months) and are mainly exploration (drilling) contracts.

They wrote that they want 206/407 and off-shore experience?
Bristow operate 407's in WABU (or did) and GOM. I suspect that they are advertising this to attract GOM and WABU pilots with SE offshore experience to IBU for reasons of expendience (i.e. they are nearing the bottom of the barrel experience-wise).
