Helicrew solutions http://www.helicrew.co.uk/ were advertising although that was some time back. No Iraq vacancies on their site at present but it may be worth a phone call.
Good luck.

UnDies,
Here's a couple on behalf of Blackwater:
MD 530F Pilot
Bell 412 Pilot
Although I notice that you need to be a US citizen (along with having a Special Forces-type military background).
This thread might also help.
HTH,

Good luck Undies
The money might be good but you really need to be alive to spend it. It reminds me of an old saying, "Not even the brave live for ever, but the cautious do not get to live at all".
It's times like this when being cautious can help just a little.

Thanks for the advice Dragonsfly - I spent some time there in 2004 doing some security work - not a safe place but that was by road - thought I should try the skies......Who Dares, Wins

Flashman - it`s very, VERY good but there is a reason for that - I`m not sure what the pilots are getting but security work (on the ground) is paying around $14 000.00 a month or slighty less.

Thanks UnDies. The Aviation side off secuirty in iraq is growing fast. alot off the private security companys are choosing to move important pax by air now. in 2003 after the war ended there was just Blackwater Flying there hughes 369 and MD500s. Now you have a Hip-8s and bell 412EP, and SA-330J And even an Sikorsky-61N MK2. Getting used Daily in Iraq and Afghanistan. The average i have Belive to be for Pilot is $2000 a day. and Rear crew are on about $800 a day. There are jobs out there but is the same story right time right place as always for these. And aslo owning your on set off Teflon undearwear helps on a daily basis when flying about Camp Victory and the I.Z zone.

Iraq Helicopter Providers
I'm sure this has come up before but couldn't find anything useful using the search function.
Who are the providers of helicopters in Iraq, i'm sure Blackwater do some but not sure who else, your thoughts please.
