Hi all, I have just got my CPL H and am now on the first steps of finding a Job. Most people say go north but in this country north if a very vast area!
Can anyone be a bit more specific? (I will travel anywhere though)
Some questions i have are:
What are employers looking for in a new pilot?
Which operators employ low time pilots its pointless troubling the ones who only want turbine types.
What are the best machines to be endorsed on?
Any hints or tips?
Do operators mind you phoning them or are getting stacks of calls every day?
Any idea of how many chopper wannabes are out there looking?
I just want to do my research before I head up north to stop me from wandering around the bush with no real plan of action.
I have cattle experience and would like to get into aerial mustering but it seems like they have lines of pilots waiting on their doorstep for a job, any suggestions, tips, or rude remarks welcome!
Thanks in advance
