North Sea Pay ?

[ENG Brit]

Anyone know current or recent starting pay for North Sea FO's with Bristow, CHC, etc.

Also what are the sort of hours they are looking for in FO's ?

Any advice would help.

Hi EB

There have been many threads on this subject but to save you a search a brand new FO with <500hrs would get about £31,000.

The N Sea, however, is a declining market at present. CHC-Scotia and Bristows are making people redundant. Bond, I believe, has filled its requirements prior to its comeback in Aug 04. So as far as I can see there will be no recruitment in the N Sea for sometime. In fact Scotia are looking at having contractors on call for any up turn in the market rather than recuiting permanent pilots:(

Many thanks HF. Yep I'm new to this site. I'll dig back for some other info. Not going back quite yet but am looking toward a year or so from now. 500hrs or so is encouranging as Im 1500+. As a Brit, I know about the taxes, cold weather etc!

thanks again
