British International

[ralphmalph]

Ladies/Gents,
Would anyone be willing to share their experiences of working for British Int?. Am looking at future employers and have a good bit of information on the rigs and Police/Air Ambulance work.
Specifically I would be very interested in the work in the Falkland Islands and at Penzance.
Duty Rosters and wages are high on my list of questions.

Any information greatly appreciated

Yours

Ralph

From what I've heard there's plenty of variety in flying between the onshore contracts, load-lifting and troop transport in Falkland, the Penzance op (hosties included....) and even now some north sea work.
Only downside...........pay!
Nowhere near the north sea standard or most mulit-crew operations. You do get to be based in Cornwall for a lot of stuff, Falkland ops are tax free but unsure of the roster. Last time I heard it was 3 months on, 1 month off.
I standby to be corrected.

I have no experience of BIH at all but did 12 months in the Falklands with Bristow & can highly recommend it from a flying point of view.

Can't comment on Ts & Cs though.

for some background check this out.
