Aerogulf Services Co. (LLC) located in Dubai, UAE. + Does anyone have any contacts for other HELO operators in the UAE or Bahrain? (I already have Abu Dhabi Av., and Gulf Helicopters in Qatar, so don't need those at this time.) + What should one expect for entry level pay, benefits, bonuses, etc... Also, what is the current hiring situation in these 2 areas given the current "middle-east situation"? Hope to hear from some folks working there now. Thanks alot.

Well that depends............
I can confirm hearing a rumor a wee while ago that the eventual change to 2 pilot crews was in the wind, but the time frame ????????
Got a mate up there co-joe, I'll drop him a line and see if we can expand the rumor any further.
cheers & flysafe. .Hone
PS: Aaahhhhhh, so that's what the R stands for

Hi Hone,
It's spelt QATAR!! I spent 18 months living in Doha, the capaital, some years ago; it's bloody hot in summer but not too bad overall. Steve Kirkland is the Ops Manager, a top bloke, and he will help you if you are suitably qualified. They were looking for experienced pilots recently for jobs in various countries.
Good luck.

As of the 17th of June they were looking for Pilots and Switch Bitches.
I have a couple of friends flying for them and they say they are a pretty good outfit to work for.

Gulf Helis?
This would seem like a more appropriate question for Rotorheads but anyway..
There is no company called Gulf Helis in Dubai. Gulf Helicopters operate from Doha in Qatar.
Aerogulf Services are the operator in Dubai. (Dubai 823157).
Capt. Barry Whitemore is Chief Pilot.
Also the helicopter operator in Abu Dhabi is Abu Dhabi Aviation.
Hope that is useful.

FYI - (and as this is the Bashes" forum) Qatar is "quite dry" and it's 90 minutes for a rotorhead to get the Dubai, 20 mins to Bahrein, for a beer
