So nigerian captains think the following conditions are just totally unfair:
Day 1: the company (Bristow) spends 250,000 USD to give you a "free ride" towards becoming a professional helicopter pilot. All expenses paid. Takes you about 18 months to get your licences.
Step 2: Company pays for you to get a twin engine helicopter type rating in which you will fly as an FO.
Step 3: About 4 years have passed since day 1 ( the first day of training) and you are promoted to Captain in Offshore CAT in a twin engine helicopter carrying passengers. You make a net monthly salary between 6500 to 8000 USD and you see your family every day. You barely have any experience (but you think you do), you are working at home in your country with the possibility of seeing your children grow up, and you make a salary which in any country around the world would be considered very high.
Yet when you see an expat pilot and you find out what he makes you become very upset because it is more than you do. But you forget to see that this expat pilot has been flying (on average) more than 25 years, has close to 10 thousand flying hours on helicopters, has flown many (at least 6) different types of helicopters in a wide variety of operations, and has to spend at least half of his life (or more) away from home and his loved ones, missing birthdays, Christmasses, important events, deaths of relatives and friends, etc, etc.
I'll tell you what: Why don't you go and travel the world, get a job in another country and fly there for a few years doing different types of helicopter operations (other than flying all day, every day, in a straight line to and from the same rig in - almost daily - VFR weather) and get some experience? Maybe then, when you have missed a few birthdays, have had a few close calls, and pass the 10,000 hr mark, maybe then you can come back to Nigeria and demand better pay for yourself!!
