Heli84,

You will find, generally for your second job that some contracts stipulate minimum hours, were generally when you get your first job hours are not the only factor companies think of.

The company I work for some of our contracts require 1500 hours , were this number come from I do not know.

I currently work in Australia and flying your first turbine is a massive thing, in europe and canada and the US, its not...

Work that out !.

If you have been left out from getting a job, then try and bring other things to the table not just your flying skills......

I missed out on a job with a big offshore company because some of the applicants had a degree i did not......but met there job spec with no issues....

I was told early on in my flying career that life delivers what you need not what you want.....and its true
