Positions in the North Sea.

Aspiring North Sea Flightcrew.............

Please remember that there are only six [maximum] aircraft at contract commencement, and the [ex] loyal followers are already chosen.
Also there is a New Australian [South African] Chief Executive Officer in Command with his Australian discipile as Chief Pilot.....its all still very secret...maybe one of the worlds worsed kept secrets.

If you have not be contacted as yet.......................perhaps you best be looking further afield.

Its far to cold up there anyway......

It looks like you missed out the hyphen between bond and ltd.

Good luck

Co-pilots salaries start at about £31k. To get a job you will need an instrument rating. If you haven't got one and are lucky enough to be selected for employment I'm sure Bond will put you through the course, bear in mind that you will no doubt have to pay it all back over the years that you are bonded to the company, thus reducing your salary further.
For those of you aspiring to command, unless you have North Sea command time on heavies, don't hold your breath. There are enough captains with NS experience already in contact with Bond who are quite willing to jump ship (quite a few of them with plenty of 332L2 time in their logbooks).
Fly safely,
Chopperman.

Had a letter back saying that base facilities would be established in ABZ by the end of 2003 and staff would be recruited end 2003/beg 2004, and if still interested should contact them again at the end of the year when they will be aware of their exact requirements....

CHC have just laid off a number of pilots in Aberdeen including Puma L2 captains. This will certainly help Bond out.

Rotormad - I know, it's frustrating trying to get a start. Keep your chin up and persevere.

Some of these old crusties will be retiring soon and that will make room for us

GJB,

I have been told that their recruiting drive could finish about April 2004, their contract doesn't start until August 2004 so it would appear unlikely that they will start hiring too early.

Good Luck,

TR
