Okay Heliringer perhaps I badly worded my post.
I was not implying that a Jetranger pilot is not experienced but that to get a job flying commercially in a 206 in Europe doing light commercial work will not require the most experienced pilot. Someone with 500+ hours would get a look in but a NS commander would have to be a ATPL holder and would have 2500+ min with so many being ME, IR, night hours and multi crew.
Yes the offshore job may not offer as much excitement as some of the utility work but it offers good pay, pension and a pretty stable career (although now is not a good time).
Are you still flying on the NS?
