Is there a helicopter pilot shortage?
So, chatting to a colleague the other night, there seems to be a lot of activity in the offshore global market, lots of talk of jobs, but when you look into it, is there really a shortage of helicopter pilots, suitably qualified?
Take someone with the following experience, 2500-3000 hours TT helicopters, 2000+ multi, 500-1000 P1 or proper P1/us on a multi engine type, IR, clean record, why cant they get a job anywhere? Is it a type rating issue.?
I heard that the OGP have recently changed their experience requirements for offshore pilots flying for them. Any truth in this?
