Sponsorship

[jstr4753]

Does anyone know if any companies (Bond, CHC-Scotia, Air Harrods etc??) are offering any sort of helicopter training sponsorship at present or are thinking of doing in the future??

Check out Flight international from January, bond helicopters are taking applications for next year, possibly.
Otherwise i've heard of no-one else even considering it. Why should they when there are loads of qualified pilots looking for jobs?

Fair point, but you know, ever hopeful!!:O

Dunno anything about helicopters, but the reason that the likes of BA run sponsorship is nothing to do with being nice to wannabes etc. Its all about cold hard cash ! It is cheaper to pay for someones training, and then employ them for x years at a reduced rate than to employ someone who trained themselves.

Try Bristows, they have a scheme but never advertise it,
that's how I ended up flying in straight lines.
