SAR Bases
The 4 bases currently operated by Bristow (Stornaway, Sumburgh, Lee-on-Solent & Portland), will be taken over by CHC during the next year. S92s will be used at the Northern bases and AW139s at the southern bases

Thanks OA.
Will try and see Bristows at HAI. I have around 200hrs in the AW139 would hope that may help. I would love anyone of the southern positions. Just JAA exams to do I suppose

Read the post again: the contract is going to CHC Scotia, not Bristow (who are the current operator.)

North Sea Wannabe
Hello, I am seriously considering splashing out on a JAA/FAA CPL(h) in the US with the hope of one day becoming a north sea pilot. Obviously it is a large risk to take considering the costs involved. Does anyone have any advice, views or opinions on this?!
I have been looking at heli adventures in Florida, it seems like a good programme and i have heard that Bristows have often used them to train their pilots.

CHC are looking to fill approx 80 posts over the next 12-14 months or so.
Speak to HR in Aberdeen but you need a JAR IR etc. No IR? No places at the minute!. Some have been lucky enough over last 12 months to have the IR paid for. Some haven't.
Hope that helps.
Yes Bristows may use HAI but likely from tomorrows announcement, it won't be called HAI anymore. !!!
Wait for confirmation.

Offshore Taxidriver, If you are who I think you are, go for it! You'll fit in perfectly. Be prepared on this forum for sarcastic comments though for posting a question that gets asked all the time. I'm afraid you just have to bite the bullet.
CHC are very short of pilots! (but have lot's of short ones
)
All the best,

Don't believe the hype.
Don't believe the hype. There aren't as many jobs out there as people think any more. There are a lot of people coming up for retirement but that doesn't mean there's a huge shortage. One company with bases in southern north sea (north and south) has just about as many pilots as it needs right now. Maybe the need for a couple more unless new contracts are won. One major contract is up for renewal next summer I believe and a lot rides on that. There are retirements though.
From what I can see, there is definitely a shortage of experienced, licensed engineers.

Oh yes, forgot that but call that attrition I guess which occurs everywhere. 'Grass is always greener' I think they call it, unless you get a job like a HEMS positon in a place which is warm and nice, no night, etc etc. But hey, we can only dream.
PS, If anyone is looking or a part time S76 pilot/co pilot (IR'd), couple days a month, let me know.
