@Epi

Thanks, you helped a lot, made things all clear now. I supposed it s like that.:D

What actually do thay mean with term "Global" or "International operations", is that some independant part of the company, far away from other parts or ...? Which part of the World they operate and for how long is that, do they move every few months?

They wrote that they want 206/407 and off-shore experience?

[Epiphany]

What actually do thay mean with term "Global" or "International operations", is that some independant part of the company, far away from other parts or ...? Which part of the World they operate and for how long is that, do they move every few months?

Bristow is divided into business units. EBU = European Business Unit based in Aberdeen UK with a SAR contract in Holland. NABU = North American Business Unit based in Lafayette USA with operations mainly in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM). WABU = West African Business Unit, Nigeria, AUSBU, Australia etc. etc.

IBU is the International Business Unit and operates everywhere else otside of these areas. IBU contracts tend to be short term (3 - 24 months) and are mainly exploration (drilling) contracts.

They wrote that they want 206/407 and off-shore experience?

Bristow operate 407's in WABU (or did) and GOM. I suspect that they are advertising this to attract GOM and WABU pilots with SE offshore experience to IBU for reasons of expendience (i.e. they are nearing the bottom of the barrel experience-wise).

[Jet Ranger]

Maybe somewhere they operate with one 206 or 407...on shore probably...generally thay are looking for 412/76/92/332/139 etc...anyway, thanks for additional explanation. :ok:

if I understand well, IBU is Monthy Phyton Flying Circus :E

[Dick Little]

Don't they operate a fleet of 206 and 407's in Nigeria?

[Epiphany]

I believe they do but Bristow International do not operate in Nigeria as far as I am aware. Maybe they have won a Bell 407 contract elsewhere else? Bristow USA sold off their single engine fleet to Rotorcraft Leasing some time ago to concentrate on deep water operations.

if I understand well, IBU is Monthy Phyton Flying Circus

Far from it. IBU is a very professional organisation with some excellent people who try to do things properly - even in places where that is difficult.

[Jet Ranger]

Off course Epy, I know that they are very professionlal org with excellent people ... it was joke, because thay are all around tha world :)

[Epiphany]

Actually International operations are sometimes Pythonesque but that is more to do with trying to work within the local rules, conditions and frequent inconsistencies which are often a challenge.

In the military we used to say "If you can't take a joke then you shouldn't have joined up". That also applies to IBU ;)

[ropelleri]

Hey all,

Does anybody know whats going on at Bristow Aberdeen?
Got called in for an interview, and the next day it was put on hold due to "manager resources".

has anybody got an insight on this matter?

[NRDK]

Spot on Ropelleri...since especially not even Bristow management know what is going on:ugh:. Chaos is the rumour:ok:

[stonedigger]

Hi folks,

A while ago I have moved to Europe due to family reasons, and of course I've quit the job I had then... I've hit the books, studied hard and got the conversion done - all that took me nearly a year to complete (and of course it's been pretty tough on the wallet...)

Since then I've had a few casual jobs, short time contracts, but nothing substantial. I have networked, sent out resumes, rang many a chief pilot, all to no avail. Now I'm thinking about moving back overseas (a move wifey wouldn't like too much though…)

Is this just the current economical situation here in Europe? Is the market really that saturated with pilots with around about 2000 hours? Or am I just doing something horribly wrong…


stonedigger

[902Jon]

Hi stonedigger

Do you have an Instrument rating?

What sort of hours/experience have you got?

[stonedigger]

902Jon,

no I don't hold an IR, unfortunately... I have completed the ATPL/IR theory, but haven't been able to finance the rating so far.

I'm afraid I'm just a plain old VFR driver with some instruction time on my resume, though I don't hold an FI rating here in Europe. I have around 2000 hrs in various roles, charter, aerial work, tourism, instructing, and a few fire seasons in a single as a surveillance ship in Oz.

You don't say where you were working previously or where in Europe you are now looking but in the UK you will find it very difficult to get any kind of flyng job without either IR, ME or FI ratings. A little bit of research beforehand is never a bad thing and it has been that way in UK for sometime.

Just got the online helicopter trader eBook sent through and there are some jobs in the back for AW139, 365 drivers and engineers.

Good luck.

They have sent me an email telling that there are some delays in the recruitment process.

Does anyone know anything about it?

The Met have just advertised for a police helicopter pilot:

Police Helicopter Pilot - 1401320129 - Flightglobal Jobs (http://www.flightglobal.com/jobs/job/police-helicopter-pilot-london-1401320129.htm)

It should be quite an attractive job, although the requirements are quite specific too. All those police pilots who have kept their IRs current form a queue.

Presumably, they will organise/pay for the type rating for the EC145

The comments about post 2014 are interesting re: a new agency i.e.NPAS.

Any bets as to whether the Met boys will be paid less or everyone else will be paid more..........

[chcoffshore]

Why would they rate you on the EC155?

[Helinut]

Should read 145 duh :*

Good view of the Olympics.........

[xtremalsound]

Helinut I watched in MPW website and I could not find any info about pilot position. Do you know how to apply there?

Regards

[Helinut]

XS,

If you click on the link in my thread it goes to a page that then has an "apply now" link on it (via the flight global website)

[Mr. Rotorvator]

The 'apply now' button redirects you to the Met Police careers website where there is no reference to the pilot position.

I have spoken to the MPS careers people who said that the vacancy has been published too early on Flightglobal and will not appear on the Met Police careers website for a few days yet.

In short - be patient and keep checking at www.metpolicecareers.co.uk (http://www.metpolicecareers.co.uk/)

Mr. R

[Camp Freddie]

i should imagine they are bracing themselves as we speak for a flood of application from R22 drivers :)

[Demented]

I see Bristow is looking for 139 drivers amongst others, where do they operate 139's?

[AS332L1]

Wow 6 weeks on 10 days off 4500 euros for engineers and breakfast apartment included!!!!!!!!:ugh:

cannot see many applicants for this one

[blackbird20]

finally super puma pilots wanted....I have 800 hours in Puma WITH SOME simulator training in super puma

[fly4cash-ride4fun]

Stonedigger,

I am in the same situation. I moved to Europe (Denmark) for the wife. I did the ATPL, and CPL conversion. Not wanting to go through the IR yet. Where are you from. Do you have an FAA CPL. There are options.

[Shelly Rotorhead]

This post is to inform all aspiring helicopter pilots in India........

Please be very careful and not get carried away by the Helicopter industry scene as being depicted by a few helicopter schools on their websites advertising for overseas training in USA / Canada / Europe / Australia, with a possibility of immediate job due to shortage of heli-pilots in India.

the industry is in downtrend, with absolutely no opening for fresh low time pilots. The industry is getting experienced pilots coming from the AAC / IAF / Navy (Army Aviation Core / Air Force / Navy).
So unless you are 100% assured of a job or are being sponsored, do not go ahead with a CHPL license at this stage by spending ~60,000 USD unless you have loads of cash to spare.

Pls also note that you do not get R22 endorsment in Indian CHPL, so pls ensure 5 hrs + skill test(45 min each day/Night) on Schweiser / R44 / or a turbine which is registered in India. pls ensure that you X-country time of 10 hrs is on flights with radial distance of min 100 NM.

Once again, the scenario as being depicted by some agencies which are sending students abroad for helicopter training is not true and is misleading.

please also note that unless you have 100 hrs PIC on type, you can not perform single pilot ops in India. In addition, you need 500 hrs PIC to qualify for special VFR, which prevails for more than 60% of the time in North/East India due to Haze/Smog.

[tsitoyr]

Dear Epiphany

I am still flying in the Greek Army Aviation, aas a military Heli pilot, gained 2800 hrs total, 2350 PIC, lots of missions, holding a JAA CPL(H), IR, ATP theory and Bell 205, Bell 206 type rating endorsments.
I am trying to get hired by a civil operator worldwide but I had no positive feedbacks for the moment.:ugh:
I think that the fact of no twin endorsement, is not "good" for my CV...
Please advise me what I have to do in order to increase my hiring possibilities.
Do I have to invest to a new type rating http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/src:www.pprune.org/get/images/smilies/sowee.gif with my own finance support?

best regards

tsitoyr

[blackbird20]

Dear Tsitoyr,

The same happens here in portugal, or even in other countries. With no experience in twin engine helicopters, althought you have good flight experience its hard to get a job in a civil company with twin engine helicopters. I strongly believe, from what I have seen, that you should have these options:

- try to get hired with someone who needs single engine pilots, because a twin engine pilot wont look for work in the single engine market.
- invest in a twin engine helicopter TR (AW139,AS332,S76), but once again, you will be a very low timer in twin engine ops, and at this time it might be a risky investment. I would only invest if the company would certainly hire me, and in exchange consider bonding!!
- about getting hired by big companies, be careful about the age. Big companies want to hire experienced pilot, but they will try to get someone who isn´t to old, I mean, someone who can progress and work for the company the most he/she can.

What I have just expressed are just opinions, based on what I have seen, so think about this and see if it makes sense.

[Torquetalk]

invest in a twin engine helicopter TR (AW139,AS332,S76),

TBH I don't think this is good advice because offshore operators expect to TR many of their new hires and the money you save the operator is not likely to be a decision-maker.

be careful about the age. Big companies want to hire experienced pilot, but they will try to get someone who isn´t to old, I mean, someone who can progress and work for the company the most he/she can

Not sure if this is a deal-maker/breaker either. Over 50 with no experience is likely to be a long shot, but quite a lot of pilots in their late 30s and 40s got hired on the NS in recent years.

Right time, right place, right face can make much more of a difference than a TR or age.

[helibrian8]

just looking for some help, i currently hold a JAA CPL and FAA CPL IR with just over 2500 hours about 300 single turbine and am looking to get a new job and was wondering if anyone on here knew of any positions in the Middle east or Africa i'm looking for a touring position if possible. I was hoping to get some off shore work but it seems hard to get a job without experience or the right type ratings etc:ugh: Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks:ok:

Do you want him to write your CV and application for you as well? Seriously - if you cannot get much further and hit the "search" or "view all positions" button and find it from there, you might be best looking for something else. It is definitely there. I will give you another clue. The country is Norway!

[Rotatohead]

It doesn't show up if you search in the job category flight operations...
Just search for all jobs in Norway and it will be displayed.

Hello all,
I have graduated in aviaton related disciplines and have been working in the CAMO/technical department of a helicopter company.
I really enjoy my job but our company is struggling in this economic crisis and many crew memebrs have been made redundant...

I am now looking around seeing if there are any positions that I could apply (unfortunately the job market looks terrible and grim at the moment)..

I was wondering if any of you could list some major european helicopter companies or could give me some advice on who is currently hiring new staff members...

thanks!!

[Canadian Rotorhead]

The best advice we can give is to stop starting your sentences with an "I", makes you look like a pilot. :ok:

Seriously though, we wish you the best of luck.

[righopper]

Apparently Bristow's are looking for more pilots for UK.
requirements CPL (H)/frozen ATPL, IR, 500 hours ME helicopters or been through the Bristow academy on the full course. CV's need to be uploaded onto the careers section of their website......:ok:

[Epiphany]

Which company and location do we think this middle east AW139 captain job is ?

Aser might know ;)

[Peter PanPan]

@righopper: All I can see on their careers section are pilot jobs for the US & Trinidad, where do you see UK?

[Epiphany]

LONDON (Reuters) - The government launched its 27th offshore oil and gas licensing round on Wednesday with 2,800 blocks made available to energy explorers, it said.
Licence awards in the last round set an all-time high at 190 as high oil prices attracted investment.
"This is shaping up to be a very prosperous year for the North Sea as we expect a substantial increase in field approvals," Energy Minister Charles Hendry said.
"With around 20 billion barrels of oil still to be extracted, the UK Continental Shelf has many years of productivity left," he said.


With this latest news, rising oil prices and an Iranian oil embargo by EU it might be a good time to consider becoming a well-paid JAR bus driver.

[TeeS]

It basically comes down to customer requirements Swapshop.

The oil and gas producers stipulate a minimum experience level. The minimum experience level can be reduced if you have attended an integrated course.

If you are going to employ someone from an integrated course, then you would be wise to employ someone who has spent their hard earned pennies with you (where you control the standards), rather than someone else.

Cheers

[Bravo73]

Exactly. It is an OGP stipulation. You can read about it yourself here: http://www.ogp.org.uk/pubs/390.pdf (Appendix 5).



Other UK operators do not have this 500 hour requirement.

They will do if their customers are OGP compliant. (FYI, not all of the oil companies are fully compliant, yet).


HTH

[helimutt]

Are there any jobs going flying the North Sea right now? I can't find one. :{

[EESDL]

helimutt
what did Bristows tell you or do you have too many hours for them???

[Pandalet]

The 500 hours multi time can be waived on completion of suitable training, however it involves extra hassle and paperwork (so I'm informed), so the offshore companies generally look for people with more hours (as this reduces the hassle), particularly for ABZ. Bristow choose not to bother with the paperwork & hassle, since they can offload it onto their in-house school. They can't really not give preference to their own school, otherwise what's the advantage?

There are openings with the big 3 for 200-hour pilots (with the Bristow exception above), you just need to be in the right place at the right time. Keep current CVs with all of them. CHC and Bond have both taken on low-hours pilots over the last few months.

[Peter PanPan]

Interesting that 500 hours in a Multi-Pilot environment equate to the Bristow Academy full course (135 hours which is already below the 150 hours stipulated by the OGP Appendix 5B), according to the JARs 500 hours MP can be credited for the MCC(H), so that would be the JAA Bristow course + a MCC(H) at least wouldn't it?

[helimutt]

EESDL
I have no idea what Bristow want right now. I offered my services as a 'ready to go' option, all boxes ticked, but wasn't required.

Just going to keep looking and see what comes about I guess.

[212_Nightdipper]

I've applied as well...got an email to confirm possible dates for the interview....since then (october i guess) no joy.......looking at their website seems like they're still accepting applications...:bored:....are they gonna give you a "no thanks answer" in the end or what?...thats what i call a looooooong selecting process..is it normal??....:ugh::ugh:

[212_Nightdipper]

and by the way....how about Bond??..

and by the way....how about Bond??..

got a reply today...they are not recruiting at the moment...

[ropelleri]

Thats funny!
Two of my mates are interviewing with bond next week.

I still havent got "exposed" to the civilian world...but...as much as i've seen....its everything and its opposite the all time....:ugh:

[helimutt]

Yes I did, but left when another company offered me a command position. I went with what I believed to be the best offer at the time. :)

And yes, they have just recruited from what I hear.

Unfortunately I dont have a 139 rating either. The world seems to want ready to go 139 drivers. :hmm:

You do it cause you love it, if not I don't wanna fly with you buddy.. :=

[206Fan]

200 Hours? I thought them days were long gone. Surprised it's not a 500-1000Hr requirement. Hopefully more positions like that will become available down the line when I get that far.

[MartinCh]

Davy, ads don't need to do the pre-selection, the HR or whoever will do. I doubt there'll be 139 typed pilots around without job, but bet still some ME IR(H) low time folks without jobs or instructing to keep current. So, yeah, good news, but not as much. Surprised to see it these days for UK, though.

[heli-mad]

Hi All

I received an email from Zenon asking me to sign a contract with them.

It says that they will charge for any job i might get, even if the employer hires me direct.

Has anybody had any experience with them? Is it a good idea to do it?

many thanks

HM

[Pandalet]

That sounds like a legal scam to me. Unless they're guaranteeing you a job (within a certain time) once you've signed up, forget it. In the technology world, where agencies are a huge part of recruitment, they collect a finder's fee from the employer AFTER you're employed. If you pay to sign up (or pay after you've found yourself a job, with no help from them), you're paying them for nothing.

Personally, I'd tell them to go play with themselves in the traffic, but that's me.

[EESDL]

sounds like they are playing on your desire to become employed......tell them that they must be mistaken but are free to take any fees from employer.
I didn't think a recruitment agency was allowed to charge prospective employee - ie scam.

[cms24485]

Hi heli-mad

That sounds b:mad:t!

Like many others here I've submitted my CV to Zenon (with more than the required qualifications)... and still waiting on a reply!!!! Well, actually not... cause this was a few years ago. :)

Good luck and think twice :ok:

[Epiphany]

Ditto above. Dealings with Zenon not good in my experience. Steer clear.

[tigerpic]

Mailed my resume a few months ago, and got a form back to sign which I did. No reply after several inquiries. Not sure whether to keep on going or give up.

On the other hand, most chief pilots are in meetings or on the phone when you call anyway.

[lewisj86]

haha this is true. market is opening up i think

[JAA/FAA Pilot]

I was in contact with Zenon during the last tow months and they were very helpful and communication was quick. Got an offer with a written contract for Africa but turned it down.

Tuna boat operations are not "offshore" type flying.

"Offshore" is normally classed as operations to Oil & Gas platforms.

Hi all,
Here you have an offer from Inaer published on a Spanish newspaper:

PIC and COPILOT. Kosovo
CPL-IR.
Min. flight hours as PIC on rotary wing aircraft 1000 and 50 as PIC on Bell412.
Min. flight hours PIC-VFR at night 50
Min. flight hours PIC-NVG 30 hours and 75 PIC-IFR
Language proficiency level 5 in English and aviation English.
Current at NVG and IFR ratings.

Any of you in Europe has a NVG's rating?? This must be a new one.

Greetings

[hueyracer]

Never heard of a "NVG rating" (as an add-on to your licence)..

Ex-Mil Pilots have NVG experience, so have some HEMS-pilots....

Would be interesting to hear what INAER pays for that job.
Did some tours over there with the military.......

[Perrito Piloto]

If you're a monkey, that's your job...because Inaer pay PEANUTS.
:hmm:

[hueyracer]

Don´t want to apply......already have a great job.......just curious, as this job seems to be a "sit around all day long" job in a very small country....

Except a few abandoned places in the mountains (or what they call "mountains"), it is easy to fly....lots of space.....only a few wires.....

After one week, you do not need a map......

Anyway-they have some really nice spots down there....

[Jet Ranger]

It's for EULEX in Kosovo. But right now, its Starlite thats is operating, there with a Puma from Helog. There is a new contract to start at 15 of March, but there is no winner for now...

Inaer, Starlite, Airgreen, Elitaliana and a turkish consorcium are on the race!

hueyracer, do you need company in your east africa ?!? :)))

[412guy]

Hi, new here so go easy guys.

I've seen a company called 'Developing Assets UK Ltd' advertising a number of Bell 412 positions.

Anyone had dealings with them in the past? or know if they have a website?

many thanks

412

[S76driver]

I believe Developing Assets are more about rear crew, we have a couple of their guys here now for SAR operations.

[S76driver]

Disregard.....Pilots too apparently!

[NavyTorque]

Not sure where you are getting your information but Developing Assets Ltd have 8 pilots supplied to the CHC SAR Ireland Contract, 3 pilots supplied to the CHC SAR UK contract and 10 crewmen supplied across SAR contracts Globally.

If you check LinkedIn Group "Helicrew Job Forum" you will see that they are currently recruit SAR pilots for S61 and S92 work.

Good Luck!

[412guy]

Hi NavyTorque,

Thanks, got the orginal info from the site you suggested but wanted to know a bit of background before I got in touch with them.

Do they have a website, I tried searching but no joy.

S76,

thanks for the info.

412

[winchweight1]

Hi 412,

There is no website for Dev A, as not an agency. If you follow the links on LinkedIn (helicrew job forum) and leave an enquiry on there the company will reply to you. Hopefully they will answer any questions you have.

With Rotorsim in Italy - what's the betting?

[norunway]

The job is for a position with Susiair, I know the chief pilot there its definetly not a scam, and a very genuine job.

[Milo C]

Thank you Diplomat
That's what I was betting for, but any information or opinion is welcome.

[sarboy w****r]

Milo,

If the AW139 instructor job in Italy is for AW, and you are interested in applying, then you should go into it with your eyes open. I know that in the past AW has promised instructors that they will do a mixture of synthetic and actual flying instruction, and said instructors then find that the only instruction they are offered is in the sim. Also, I know that the work rota has not always been quite what it appeared to be at first...

SBW

[Milo C]

Thank you sarboy,

I've heard that too. I just don´t know why are some good and experienced pilots working there for years. I guess we only hear the bad things, not the good ones (i.e. money???) :confused:

[WLM]

Susi Air have helicopters? I thought they were only fixed wing operators..

[alouette]

The money at Susi's is not what one would expect... However, if one does get hired then make sure that your paperwork is in order. I.e. work permit, Kitas, etc...

I hate to bring this up but who has got Bell 429 off-shore experience? Just two cents worth of my thoughts.:D

[170']

A small operator is looking for 2 pilots on 355 and or 407. Lots of varied flying but no specific longline skills required. Mostly pax and freight.
It is however W Africa - so won't suit anyone who occasionally feels 'delicate'

Must have IR & TR (or factory school for FAA Certificates)
Onshore Charter thru the region. The 407 needs an IR also;due local regs.

Send me a CV via email and I'll forward suitable people's info.

This post is a favor only - But I've sent 3 guys there before and they've been happy enough with T & C's ...
(as much as we as a group are ever happy with pay and conditions ;-)
The boss is a genuinely nice guy who pays his bills!

He'll contact you with all details if you're under consideration.
Please don't ask me for more info as I'm hard to reach and slow to respond to emails. I don't know what else to say except don't waste your time if you're not aware of the lifestyle flying for a small African operator. The operator does his best to make life easier, but as with all small operators, you can't expect big player rewards or conditions; but there again you generally will never get bored and the experience will be one you'll enjoy yakking about in your dotage ;-)

Update: The minimums are 1500TT Helicopter

Sorry for the low timers that replied, I tried to get back to everyone, but if I missed you I apologise - I'm on a fire base and in and out. The jobs are still open as far as I know

Dear colleagues, allies, friends and ancient neighbours,

At this moment our CHC base in Aberdeen is intending to recruit several pilots over the upcoming months to cope with increased productivity. If you might know friends or colleagues looking for new challenges (or yourself) and interested in flying offshore from Aberdeen (or Sumburgh), please forward this e-mail and/or let them contact me direct.

The requirements are as usual, minimum frozen JAA ATPL(H), current JAA CPL(H) with current IR(H). We are looking for a mix of experience but pilots with an AS332L2 or an S92 rating definitely will have our preference.

If you would like to have more details, please contact me by e-mail.

[helimutt]

Think I could get a job out of Sumburgh?

[206Fan]

The ideal candidate would have 500 hours flying multi-engine helicopters or be a graduate from Bristow Academy.What exactly does that mean?

Straight out of BA with a fresh CPL / ATPL Exams done?

or

Straight out of BA with CPL done, ATPL Exams done and IR done?

or

A previous BA Graduate with all the necessary requirements quoted above?

[Bravo73]

What exactly does that mean?

It is an OGP requirement.

[iTom]

Will they also need engineers ?

[AW139_SIC-Type]

Reading through the forum it seems like everyone is under the impression that an AW-139 experience was a key. I have the SIC Type and could get the full Type with a training check ride, yet I cant seem to get a reply anywhere. Before I started looking, I thought that the jobs were plentiful, but it doesnt seem the case.

Where are the international jobs? Any input or contacts? Though I would love a 139 job, I am mostly interested in simply working internationally ASAP.

Thanks for your input fellas

PM me

[Mars]

My apologies to all of those who thought I was De Jansen and PMed me with their details. Hopefully, after Variable Load's intervention, they have made their contact directly with De at CHC.

Mars

[Peter PanPan]

It would have been less confusing if you had added Dé's email address which by the way is: [email protected]

[Mars]

Yes Peter, you are quite correct; in my haste to do good, I omitted to provide the address.

However, this is a rumour network and any applicant might have spent a little time checking the message (which was, in fact, correct).

All those who sent me messages thereby revealing their identities, be assured that they were deleted without me taking note of the names.

[Epiphany]

I thought that the jobs were plentiful, but it doesnt seem the case.

If you have AW139 TR and experience and cannot find an International job at the moment then there is something that you are not doing right.

Deadline 15/06/2012

Please do not pay any attention to the job description - the biggest load of HR clap-trap you'll ever come across. It says you are responsible for many things - no, your Captain will have the final word;-)

Ghana is one of the nicer places in W Africa.....................

[EESDL]

LNT Group are advertising this position.
Unfortunately the boss has got his HR department to pen the ad, which, when you read it you'll agree that it hasn't produced anything of much use and HR can't even spell the name of their chopper correctly!!
Filled this role fulltime for 5-years and have been freelancing for the owner a/r when back in UK for the last 2.
IR essential and, as you would expect, owner is very particular who flies him and his family around.
Contact them direct as I'm not involved in recruitment process but happy to provide a proper job description;-)

[Angut]

Has anyone gotten a reply from CHC for Aberdeen positions??

[Tango123]

Angut, don't expect CHC to confirm that they have received your application, unless it is of interest, even though you have more than the minimum requirements for applying.

Arrogant? In my opinion: yes.....

[Angut]

No reply to me either, but I have learned not to expect anything in this industry:ok:

[212_Nightdipper]

Hello Angut,

I've actually got an answer from them...but only to tell me that my period of availability doesnt match their urgent need (pretty immediate I suppose)....so no luck for me either....:ugh:........by the way...anyone ever had a phone interview with Bristow?....

212ND

[400hover]

Interview by phone?? Well, does Bristow know that Skype is a bit better??

Anyone knows for what is chc immediate positions?? sar, offshore??!?

[Bravo73]

Anyone knows for what is chc immediate positions?? sar, offshore??!?

See posts #1172 & #1174.

[212_Nightdipper]

Hello 400H,

I know but i've been contacted by Bristow's HR and they wanted to arrange this phone interview...I suppose its a sort of pre-interview...I think that the real deal will come later (possibly along a simulator ride)....anyways.....whatever takes me to the "LZ" is all good.....

Regards....

212ND

[xtremalsound]

I've been contacted for a phone interview with bristow too but I know just only that.
The chief pilot is gonna call all pre candidates to pre interview and after that we well have any news.

If anybody has been any phone interview should be great to have some info about that.

Thanks

[alpenjunge]

Was anyone contacted by Bristow or got an invitation for the selection?

[Angut]

Those who got called, how many hours have you got?

[212_Nightdipper]

...around 2000....ATPL H Theory and CPL-IR (B412s)...

[Camp Freddie]

A buddy of mine was contacted and he has about 700 hrs + IR, I should think the most important factor is

1. Do you have a current IR ?

[Angut]

Ok, 350 hours and IR not current on my part will probably not be that attractive for them:rolleyes:
Good luck to you guys:ok:

[Need money]

Does anyone have the definative on hours requirement..

Is it true that OGP now have minimum 500hrs ? and are all operators now working to this ?

I was all set for my IR, but I dont have the 500, and therfore have reconsidered starting it until such time as I do ..

I appreciate this does not mean you will get hired at 500hrs, but is it now impossible with 250 + IR ?

Thanks.

[Camp Freddie]

As far as I know you don't need 500 hours, I know of a 200 hour merchant with an IR who just started as SNS co-pilot

Also low hours does not at all mean you won't get hired as a low hours person is a lower cost than a high hours one.

OGP manual appendix 5B suggests 200 hours is Ok, appendix 5A suggests 500 hours but is only a recommendation I think. See page 118/120

http://www.ogp.org.uk/pubs/390.pdf

[Garfs]

Every offshore operator I Approached told me to keep in touch and come back when I had 500 hours as those were the minimums. I kept in touch and after 18 months of pestering them they called me for an interview and subsequently offered me a job.

I had less than 500 at time Of interview

Cheers
Garfs

[Bravo73]

Not all of the oil companies are OGP compliant (yet). So if an operator has a contract with a non-OGP customer, it is still possible to be hired with <500hrs.

Anyway, 500hrs TT is bit of a red herring. IIRC, the OGP requirement for a P2 is 500hrs ME heli (or having trained in an establishment with a recognised course of training, or words to that effect. Which is why Bristow Acadamy is often cited).

[400hover]

Got mail from chc few days ago asking about availability! As i am ready available they told me wait for more news within 2 weeks..
By the way, how are chc interviews/ selection process in these days??
I've seen some threads but are a bit old.

[wingnut193]

On my license I have CPL (H) IR, with 800hrs, TR, R22, R44, A109, and AS355. I also have my ATPL exams.

I passed my IR at Bristow academy Gloucester Nov 2008 and renewed Sept 2010 and I intend to renew at the end of this year.

I can’t afford the 4 or 5 grand every year while I’m not in a permanent flying job.

As the IR is type specific I would have to do it again anyway if taken on.

Do you think because my IR is not current this is why I’m being over looked? :ugh:

[Bravo73]

43 years old with 'only' 800hrs might be a factor. (I must stress 'might').

Good luck with your job hunt.

[jymil]

I just got a confirmation on the magic 500 hrs (even ME). This is a bit of a catch 22, since the best place to obtain ME experience would be the offshore industry itself. At the moment I don't really see how to transition from my non-aviation main job to flying offshore.

[400hover]

As someone got an answer from CHC ???

Senior Pilot

[Wizzard]

CHC NS has just started two pilots with just over 200 hours so I don't know where the 500 hour requirment is coming from.

[chcoffshore]

It all depends on what is written in the contract!

[Angut]

Sometimes it all depends on nepotism;)

[chcoffshore]

Sometimes yes, but also merit or getting off your ass and getting a foot in the door!

[Angut]

Agree:ok: thats why we never give up:ouch:

[ShyTorque]

Sometimes it all depends on nepotism

That's outrageous! Nepotism should be kept in the family, if you ask me.

[400hover]

.... saddly i am not none of them :(

and maybe i'm hoping to much, but i'm still waiting for a definitive answer by mail!

since i had the requirements they ask and they had no more information i was told to wait for more info and an answer in some days... but some have already passed.

:{

[toperharley]

Hi gents,
might you have any news about the driver openings with Bristow and CHC in Aberdeen? Since almost two weeks it was getting very silent now... also any idea what the general cause of the pilot demand was...maybe the Bond drop with Shell...?

Thanks and press thumbs :bored:

[rewritable]

As Bristows have won the Inpex job in Australia, i can see them sending the Aussie pilots to Aberdeen to get hands on flying

[pohm1]

As Bristows have won the Inpex job in Australia, i can see them sending the Aussie pilots to Aberdeen to get hands on flying

Yes they'll need some 'hands on' experience as this offshore contract will be so massively different to all the other offshore contracts BHA have been successfully servicing for the last umpteen years. :ugh:

P1

[rewritable]

Apologies Pohm, i was referring to flying the 225 not the offshore side of things. I was under the impression they only operate 4 in Australia.

We are have a few adverts out at the moment for

Spotted this:

EC145 Captains and First Officers at 5 / Intaway resourcing (http://www.intaway.co.uk/jobvacancies/job/563/ec145-captains-and-first-officers/)

Made a short search regarding intaway and looks like another recruitment agency... that has some problems regarding payments! (at least that is what was sayd in another thread of this forum).

I've sended my cv and got an answer: How much are you expecting to win???

[Epiphany]

Perhaps they pay with Lottery Tickets?

[JulieAndrews]

Why would the pilot being recruited be wary of Intaway paying-up? Or are you a company requiring pilots?
Either way, as a bona-fide agency, the payment is made to the agency by the employee..........or atleast that is the way it worked with me when they secured my fulltime flying position............

[400hover]

They didnt told who the client was. They only asked about my salary expectation. I see a problem here, because the criteria for selection begins in the salary... the lower i ask the better chances i have for being called... and accidents then happen :p

[EternalRookie]

I got pretty much the same thing. How much dough do you want? It seemed like he didn't even look at my resume.

[EternalRookie]

RE: Intaway EC-145 openings,

Has anyone heard anything further from them?

[212man]

If you are an offshore JAR FCL licensed AW139 Captain who fancies a move to a well known oil company's aviation department in SE Asia, you may wish to look through the jobs section of Flight International in 2 or 3 weeks. ;)

Engineers too :ok:

I guess all the posters who slag Shell off in the various 'Shell bashing' threads will abstain as conscientious objectors!

In addition to the AW139 positions they are also looking for an additional S-92 JAR FCL TRE. The ad will be in a similar time frame.

[toperharley]

Hi... might you have any news regarding possible Aberdeen pilot openings with BHL and CHC?
Thanks... Toper :ok:

[Rotorbody]

Anybody looking for AW139 pilots? Prefer job with more actual flying rather than discussions about the merits of flying or reasons not to. Do those jobs exist anymore? Will work for payment in return for time and effort expended.

[griffothefog]

Rotorbody,

Pretty much any of the offshore companies working world wide operating the AW139 are looking for qualified drivers as you should know if you have any cop-on :ugh:

Believe me when I say if you were excepted by any of them, you wouldn't have time to consider the merits or the why's and wherefores as you would be flying upward of 70-90 hours per month :eek:

And that's why they pay the big bucks :ok:

[WASALOADIE]

Any current or former Lynx QHI's out there interested in possible jobs, drop me a line, I have some info.

Regards

wasaloadie

[212man]

Rotorbody - did you look at the post 3 before yours?

[Hedski]

Griffo,

He was asking a question. I find your initial response harsh.

[Epiphany]

Griffo will be devastated to hear that.

[ramblingrotors]

Any one has info on this company? The good and the bad.
Thanks

[stonedigger]

For clarity - type rated only....

Now that comes as a surprise! :hmm:

[212man]

Any reason why that would be a surprise?

[Super 61]

Apologies to those of you who have tried to access the Brunei Shell AW139 Pilot/engineer advertisement on Flight Global.com today. The "apply now" link is connected to the BSP home page but not yet to the actual BSP recruitment portal. This glitch will be fixed in the next 24 hours. Those wishing to apply can still register on the BSP site which is a requirement prior to application anyway. Apologies, and good luck to all applying.

[Super 61]

Further to my last, I have been advised by one applicant that he received an email offer of assistance with his Brunei Shell Application for a $150USD fee. The offer came from [email protected]. Some of you may see the humor, or lack of it, in that address....:ugh:

This offer is a scam, BSP are investigating this situation. You do not need to pay $150USD to join BSP, you need to meet the requirements and successfully complete the selection process...:ok: Good luck to all applicants.

[EC155B1]

Hello Friends

Anyone has info on EC 155 B1/AS 365 N vacancy......?Wondering what has gone wrong with these choppers....dont see any interest/buzz for the same in this forum.Hope some one bring some cheer with opening anywhere in the world preferably on off shore.....

[HillerBee]

It might have to do with the fact you don't have a JAA/EASA ATPL(H).
