Mr Brassmeup,
you said
In my opinion you have got to stand out from the other thousand people who have just sent their CV in, what you need to do is phone up the relevant flight crew manager, sell yourself and at that point try and make an appointment to see him and then send your CV.
you got to get yourself up to aberdeen see all the comapanies and try to impress
regards
CF
P.S. i sent my CV and nothing did happen till I flew up to aberdeen (they even paid for my flight after the fact)

I would try all three North Sea operators. You've got nothing to loose, although I suspect you'll do better with Bond and CHC because I believe that Bristow are keeping slots open for their Coastguard pilots following the loss of that contract. They're expecting those pilots to return to Aberdeen in Summer and the Autumn.

Pilot positions in Norway
CHC Helikopter Service in Norway are hiring. You need 1000hrs and the instrument rating, The basepay starts at about NOK 500 000, per diem and overtime should add it up around NOK 600 000. Senior line captains make twice that much, SAR captains and copilots can add another NOK 250 000. Copilots with four years seniority gets the SFO allowance, around NOK 90000. 14/14 rosters are available, and we have pilots commuting from Italy, Netherlands, South Africa, Sweden, Denmark, Spain, but no one from the UK at the moment..

HS Norway
The Scotia ABZ rosters are somewhat similar to HS, in Norway you get 5 days extra vacation on the equal time roster, on the 5/2/5/9 roster you get two weeks vacation, which means you get one month off during the summer.
With HS, travel and accomodation are included only during the training stage, after the line check you are on your own expense.. If you work a lot extra days (max 40xnok8000) and overtime, you can make close to NOK 1000000 from year one, but then taxes are insain, around 50%, expenses and morgage interests are deductable, brings the average young copilot down to about 40% taxes i believe.
Personally I wouldn't want to work for any other company, the aircraft are very well maintained, the training is exellent, the union has a strong standing, and after a few years the money is really good.

Could anyone enlighten me with regards the relevant contacts for Bond and CHC on the North Sea for pilot recruitment? A search of the relevant web sites gets you the numbers of course, but I would be much obliged if someone could PM me the best on site person to talk to in each company.
Thanks in advance.

I sent my Resume to CHC Netherlands. They will accept pilots with a JAA ATPL theory, JAA CPL licence, and they aren't to bothered if you don't have an IR I think they will help you with that, as i read between the lines. They said no to me as only have 3500hrs and FAA ATPL. On well...

CHC Netherlands………….. You definitely need a IR, sponsorship is difficult because of the Netherlands employment laws! But if you have a IR rating then they are looking for about 6 co-pilots.

Yeah they are doing 7/7 and 5/2/5/9/5/2/6/8. I think Bristow are trying for a even time roster and Bond are on something like a 5/2/7/7.
