Thanx HillerBee>>>Is it a Pre-Requisite.....to get a call from them......?Has any one join them and got their conversion done on JAA/EASA ATP while on the job?

Forget about a JAA/EASA conversion done while on the job. There are no "based-on" shortcuts into EASA licensing anymore, so you have to do the full theory. And the theory will take you at least 6 months for ATPL level, this cannot be done "on the job".

It`s very last news, and nobody indeed knows how it'll be the near future for the pilots-engineers-staff, so don't waste your time with this advetising. (my advise)

What they mean is that you need a valid medical certificate.
CIMA is the name of the military Aeronautica Medical Center.
Long time ago it was the only one avalaible for pilots so colloquially pilots in Spain we call the Medical Certificate "CIMA"

Any valid JAA medical certificate should be valid

A good friend of mine has been called in for an interview-and is now looking for information about the job he has been offered (BEFORE going to the interview)..

The job was for "National Academy for Professional Training" (NAPT) in Doha/Qatar, flying AW139.
He has been flying the 139 as a Captain before (Offshore Operations), but has no experience as an Instructor.

What he knows so far:
Tax free salary, relocated living, accomodation, medical, travel home ticket.

Work should be in the "Al Udeid American Air Base" under Qatar Emiri Air Force.

Any information are welcome!

Aw years ago several colleagues of mine went to wotk for thi same outfit. they worked for 9 months and were NEVER paid - they constantly received promises, reassurances etc etc, but NO money. After between 6-9 months they all returned to the UK having been paid not a peeny. RThe outfit concerned (the same one you mention) said that they wouild be paid when it was 'good and ready' and that if they made noises they would be out of a job. Don't trust them as far as you could throw them.

Possibly. Word on the street is that there is a problem with getting the oil out of the ground and turning a profit.

Seems to be an issue with the "closed shop" mentality and the net result of the policy not allowing "expat experience and nous" through the door.

Google "The Brazil Cost" for a heads up. 65% local content etc. etc. etc.

As Operations/Training Manager of National Academy for Professional Training in The State of Qatar, i would like to inform all that the post provided is not accurate in its content.

National Academy for Professional Training is for the first time since foundation in the year 2003 directly employing rotary wing pilots for a client in The State of Qatar. No contracts have been in place in the past for hire of rotary wing pilots with National Academy for Professional Training, therefor the information related to the hiring of rotary wing pilots years ago for a contract is incorrect.

There have been various discussions in the past for requirements of Sea King and Gazelle Pilots, which never moved any further than rumour phases, and again the hiring had not been directly via National Academy for Professional Training.

This contract/hiring process is dirtily with National Academy for Professional Training and 100% genuine.

I've tried the GOM operations (phi, bristow, and rlc) as well as a couple of new York tour operations. I do have my CFII as well as about 1000 hours doing commercial (non instructor) work.

Anyone have any ideas of companies to look into? Any lines on employers who don't advertise? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I also hold CPL-H with endorsements on BO105LS, A109, AW139 CP ...

4000 Hours crew experience, 1100 on Bell 412 and 570 on AW 139.

328 Pilot hours and looking to see if I cant tie the two together to help build my copilot time...a long shot but anything constructive feedback wise is welcome...

Rigid,
I guess somebody already told you that an IR on one of the twins could make the difference.
I'm not aware about job opportunities for CPL+IR, but if you're still in touch with the operator you worked with as crew member on twins, a gentlemen (assumed they actualy are) agreement and an investment could be the way to reach your goal.

Hey guys,
I have a question concerning my chances to get job as helicopter pilot. I was trained in the German Army as a helicopter pilot. I have TR for TH-67/OH-58, (I know they are useless on the civilian market) because I was trained at Ft. Rucker USA. Back in Germany I got my standardization to meet the European standards. I have 103h TT (inc. tactical flight training and NVG time) and round about 40h of sim.time. Next year I will get my CPL (H) IR (JAR FCL 2). Because the German Army reduces the number of A/C, I will not be trained further. Therefore I can probably leave the Army and keep my 5 year pension. In addition to that I will get apprx. 20000£ to get trained for a higher Qualification (for example TRs) to be more interesting for an employer. I have no experience on the civil market. Do you think a company could be interested in hiring me has a co-pilot? How can I close the gap to get 250h to start as a CFI? Any suggestions what I can do? My Dream is to fly as commercial helicopter pilot, and I would do (nearly) everything to reach my goal.
I am thankful for any help

schrenki,

regarding the huge amount of pilots who will loose their flying position... none!:mad: (even if just a few of them will leave the army, the german helicopter industry does nearly not exist! just a few jobs out there)
At least if you stay in Germany. If you are willing to relocate... a bit higher! ;-)
just my two cents!

schrenki
28th Aug 2012, 21:45
I know that the german market is :mad: but i was rather thinking about the offshore companys. Or is it ridiculous to think about that opportunity? I read about that here. that there is a possibility to get a job as a low timer + IR . I dont think that too many pilots will leave the army. They have houses children an a good an safe jobs (with more or less flying time). The Civilian market is much harder in my opinion.

I very much doubt this.

The reason for you not getting a CPL(H) with IR can be found in BesAnLwAAbtFlBtrbBw_505_5101, Chapter 7, N° 706.

You need to have 500 hours total time (Sim-time does not count) to get a CPL out of your MFS(H)...

Besides that-with 103 hours-no chance.

I´ve checked already the north sea operators but I would not mind at all to go far away and get to see other cultures while working and getting a good pay; actually those are two of the reasons I became a pilot and currently I am not fulfilling any.

Everybody knows the big guys, I´d appreciate smaller operators not so well known to broathen my chances

52% tax? They offered 90k?

TorqueStripe
28th Oct 2012, 18:45
You do realize, if we are talking dutch taxes here, you don't have to pay the 52% over the whole amount, and if you are coming from abroad there is this handy thing called the 30% ruling, which allows 30% of the salary to be paid out tax free.

So if it is 90.000EUR they offered
the 30% ruling means you are paying tax over roughly 60.000EUR. The 52% bracket is only for the income above 56500EUR, and below you have a couple more brackets with 42% and 33% (roughly)

somesuch
28th Oct 2012, 20:55
Perspective is everything 1m2.... from left seat on equal time to office junior 5 days per week, every week, 90k is a joke. It's true that I wouldn't have to wear a rubber bag.....

As for the tax Torquestripe, you would be correct for any company other than Shell. Unfortunately, they have done a deal with the Cloggy govt so they keep the 30%. The employees get sod all of it. So that would be tax on the whole salary. You sign it all away when you join........

I am quite disappointed as I had heard they treated staff well, but I am not seeing any evidence here. I also hear they are losing people.

Yes that may well be the case, but with the average mid seniority captain in the UK North Sea earning approx €120k and the Shell job probably looking to attract that sort of experience level. 90k is a big step back.

To some of us to be expected to accept such a big step back in pay and conditions merely for the "privilige" of working for one of the biggest companies in the world is offensive.

There will always be lesser paid professionals unless you are on the lowest rung of the ladder. That does not mean that it is acceptable to join the race for the bottom in terms and conditions.
If such a job "sells" for a salary that is not on a par with industry norms, it is setting a new and lower standard for all of us.

I'd like to meet with those guys. I know pilots with the old ADAC contracts, not the trendy outsourced pilot BS that make just over €5000/month before tax and social insurances being with the club for more than one decade.

90k at 52% tax still makes you €3600 net/months, not too shabby. In Germany you're considered rich when you as a single person have more than €3418 net, no kidding.

Same problem on a different experience level. Apparently, there are enough candidates available on the market which fulfil these requirements. But this always means someone else did not insist on 500hrs on type and probably also covered for the type rating (I dont think someone's coughing up 60k EUR out of his own pocket). Otherwise nobody would be qualified for the job .. This is a bit of a conundrum of the helicopter industry to me.

Bristow Helicopters Australia is the largest provider of offshore helicopter services to the Australian oil and gas sector.

A part of Bristow Group, Bristow Australia is expanding its fleet and we are looking for Pilots to join us from 2013 as we help Australia develop its natural resources.

You could be touring to Broome, Darwin, Exmouth, Barrow Island, Essendon or Karratha (where we are just completing our significant investment in a new hangar and heliport facility).

There are also opportunities for overseas assignments.

You will be flying our fleet of EC225 helicopters, the AW139 or the S76C++. They will soon be joined by the S92. This is an exciting period to work for Bristow Helicopters as we invest in adding more new helicopters to our existing fleet as well as in the staff who fly and maintain them to the demanding Bristow standards.

This is a great career opportunity as we do not normally recruit openly. Our extensive apprentice scheme has delivered high quality staff for us in pace with our development and our staff stay with us. Success has led to contract awards in the future which mean that we now need to supplement our apprentices and current staff with external recruitment.

So if you have the skills and experience and want to be a part of this successful Bristow team, a distinction that is recognised in helicopter aviation around the world, then please apply to us now.

NKRD you are on the button. 25%+ pay cut is just not realistic. Also no duty pay or overtime, and I hear these guys are working their gonads off. They are short staffed. One guy went to BP for a massive payrise, apparently. I do not get very positive feeling for the future from the couple of guys I managed to chat to informally.

Pity, as I thought it could be a good fit, but seems they are losing their edge. I know they come in for a lot of criticism here, some valid, some not so valid, but they are clearly no longer the leaders they think they area.

The money sounds good to those of you who haven't been flying offshore N Sea for a generation, but it is crap in comparison.

With an JAR ATPL (H)-IR MCC in my pocket and the experience of a couple of unanswered applications I wonder whether my german origin or my military background is the main cause for not being successful so far with my transition in the civil world.

Neither of those elements should be an issue. There are plenty of military pilots and plenty of German pilots working, or have worked, in the UK offshore industry.

However, you will be in the queue behind pilots who already have a) the required type rating or b) offshore experience. Your 'heavy type' experience and instructor background will be very well regarded though, putting you ahead of others in the queue.

Additionally, you say that you are 'currently working as military instructor pilot'. How long until you will be leaving the military? The requirement for offshore positions is often very immediate (ie yesterday!) so some operators might not be able to wait months for you to leave your current position.




By the way I like Monty Python ! :D

You can't be all bad then... ;)

Thanks for the info.
I definitly lack the offshore experience and the type-rating. But I will work on the later.
Leaving military in 4 month and I will give myself 12 month to get a copilot seat with the "big boys" (S92, AW139, EC225). I am a fan of Sikorsky though.

If I fail, I have to earn my money with my master's degree in business engineering (2nd best idea).
But just started to look around. I have really not much to complain about so far.
Let's see what the future brings !
Again thanks for the advice! :ok:

Has anyone else heard back from Mr Akinbobola about the Bristow Cadet Pilot (http://www.zimbio.com/Nigeria/articles/mPScaumydc1/CURRENT+VACANCIES+BRISTOW+GROUP+INC+CADET) roles in Nigeria? And the first round of selections in January at the Sheraton, Lagos. His email ends with @bristowgroup.com but having not worked in Africa, or interviewed there I hope someone help in verifying it's credibility, or otherwise.

Thanks

Some guys haven't had the luxury as they start up to have seen the world like yourself Adroight. :yuk:

Aucky, read up on Nigerian 419 scams on Google. Beware of dealing "directly" with some "reputable staff members" of Bristow or any other employment companies in Nigeria.

I would suggest you contact the required helicopter company via their official website and deal with their HR, not some individual who has a "Bristow" email address.

Good luck!

Abu Dhabi Aviation are sending 5 Bell412's to Afghanistan as soon as possible (Early-Mid December 2012) for a new contract. They're looking for crews.
The aircraft are "N" registered (American) so crews will need an American licence.

I am putting in for a position with Evergreen in Alaska.

I haven't heard much on here about them, however, I have heard much talk in another forum regarding pilots not receiving their per diem and expense checks in a timely manner...

Is there anyone on here working for Evergreen up in Alaska right now?

Any info would be appreciated.

Cheers.

This job or a very similar one appeared a while back. Presumably there is a similar temporary need for extra hands. If I was interested, there are a series of questions that the advert raises in my mind. Basically they want a typed and current police line pilot, but they don't say when or for how long. Any such pilot would need to fit it in around his other commitments.

It seems to be written by a HR bod, so things get expressed very differently from how would be normal in aviation, in my experience. Much easier, if they quoted a day or shift rate (or even a rate for a cycle of shifts on the roster).

I guess there will be few suitable candidates on the Emerald Isle, so non-chargeable flight transport costs will be a big variable that the job description does not allow a candidate to estimate.
