Thank you Helinut for the information.

We have a big problem in Spain by FCL2.
Spanish CAA doesn't work at all (worst you can imagine).

We're waiting for the FCL2 rules for more than three years and I think we will wait for another three years more.

Aviation Authorities are completely bribed by spanish helicopter companies.

Some of us would like to work outside of Spain, on Europe, but without JAR licence is very difficult.

We are kidnapped.

For example, a spanish SAR pilot works 20 on/10 off. No vacations of course.
A Standar working day: 24 hours service. 6 hours at base, 18 with a beeper for a 30 minutes response time.

Only three pilots assigned to one helicopter (for the whole year). Crazy.

Paidment for a Captain: less than 3000€ per month (everything included)

Other day, I'll talk about EMS, firefighting...

Opinions are wellcome.
