Hello, friends.
I´m having an opportunity to change my S76C+ rating for the AW139 one.
Could you tell me which of them is better, in order to be in the front line to get a good vacance as a captain in the international market?
Thanks a lot.

S76 is the past. 139 is the future. Where do you want to be?

Wherever I can get the best salary in the best safety conditions, much better in a western country.

Hmmm, something seems to be lost in translation.
139.

Ups, sorry...
Of course, I want to be in the future, but honestly, I´m not so sure to change.

I know several touring pilots on the 76 and they all want to get on the 139 for better opportunities, in my view it's far beyond a no brainer, it's obviously the way to go and I am surprised you are even asking the question !
I claim some knowledge on this, I was on the 76 and now on the 139

If I won the Euromillions lottery tonight (£133), I would go for the AW139.

Who knows, how many hours per year should I expect flying a 139 offshore? 200 h or more?
Thank you

That is a strange question. Unless if you're not an offshore pilot.
All depends on the operation you're in and where. 200 hrs is low.
