Just spotted said advert in FI - 3000 hours etc ratings not specifically required, relocation to Netherlands.

Can anyone give any info on these positions? Poss salary? Length of contract, Job security....

[Hippolite]

Ratings not required because its EC155 and not many people have that rating.

Shell contract. Den Helder location. 5 years + 2 year option.

If you like the Netherlands, should be an ok job and location.

Whats the likelihood of any openings materializing in Norwich or is it seemingly a non starter with all the contractors working there?

[bovinedude]

No chance of Norwich i'm afraid. We already have 6 contractors who regularly fly. 3 of these would take up permanent positions if offered. All 3 are in-situ and experienced. Why re-locate and train others when these qualified pilots are available on site?

[magbreak]

Is it me or have they knocked 1000 hours from the requirement to be a captain on the 76 as it was "back in the good old days".

good to see you're still alive 999driver!!

[rotorrookie]

is it 500hrs on type for copilot or 500 total:confused:

[ralieh]

What about salary? Any ideas?

[212man]

Yes, you do get a salary.

The hours are total, not on type.

[rotorrookie]

thats cool then Im only 300+ hrs away;)
few years ago I heard (if I remember it rightly) that starting salary for copilot was $90k-100k and $160k-170k for captain.

[Thud_and_Blunder]

starting salary for copilot was $90k-100k
Hong Kong dollars perhaps...:cool:

[Simon853]

There's no mention of IR requirement. Is it implied because of the multi-pilot crew, not required or optional for possible sponsorships?

[rotorknight]

salary is aprox. 61000 pounds for Captain's ,which is year 1 captaincy in Bristow plus 7% pension allowance and Loss of license.
