Calling all Puma pilots
 
International Puma Pilot

Finally, a chance for Puma boys to get sausage-side!!

(Some of the current fleet may struggle with a couple of the requirements though)

I read the link... when I'd finally stopped laughing I realised that only the Septics could post such crap and be serious about it... :E

Some of the Puma boys have been sausage-side already ;)
Almost all of them have been sausage-side in Iraq.

That said, very amusing job description. More crouching required than on some other types, methinks :ok:

I beleive the 330Js they use are ex Bristow UK/China/Australia so have about 20,000 hrs on them. They pay a daily rate so you only get paid when on 28, not off 28. No pension, no perks but they do get people to fly for them.
Its either that or flipping burgers.

Itmay be the only chance some have to go
 
Apart from the JO's dicked for a ground tour out there with the cut in the fleet of Pu2 and the further cnsiderations to reduce the fleet in PR13 (grapevine rumour in the towers) it may be that there arent that many opportunities for the line pilots. Never mind theres always Kenya.........

2000 hours on type?
That's narrowed the available pool of talent by 95%!

50 hours on type, 2000 TT. Sounds like a fun type job, wonder if the accomodation has a cocktail bar and a pool? Does the local air-conditioned shopping mall have a Starbucks?
I've got 2500 hours Puma, where do I apply?
