P&A, it's not great if you live in Europe or N/ America. If you have an EASA license and live in other parts of the world, it's actually not that bad. I suspect pilots at companies in India for example with AW139 TRs would jump at the chance to make about $40k a year.

Here on PPRUNE we think a lot about how the typical Euro/ N American etc touring pilot would feel about it while ignoring others who would beg to have jobs that paid like this. We all do it, me included. Pilots are commodities. NHV's job (if they have won) is to figure out what works for them commercially and then hire people to work for that money. In the boom times very few will take a job with money like that. In this market with the oil price where it is and not much happening globally, I think they will not struggle to find people at all. 5500 Eur is a ton better than unemployment benefit, or nothing.
