Quote from Gullibell
"Perth pilot movements at HA maybe somewhat to do with the nature of the job, there can be alot of sitting around during the fire season and not much flying. The young guys in those jobs are likely to want more flying and less sitting around, or find a better avenue onto twins elsewhere. Plus the pay on offer (about the mid $70k point) is not so appealing considering the pay and opportunities for advancement found elsewhere."
Gullibell, do you reckon that includes super or is plus super??
BA, oh how you remind me of a DA, one that lives in Perth and is a right pain in the ar$e

The salary range for the Perth based fire jobs is $71k to $76k depending on experience, plus super. 4 days on 2 days off in summer, 5 days on 2 days off in winter, 4 weeks annual leave (not sure if the annual salary quoted includes the 17.5% leave loading on holiday pay).
Gullibel, Are they looking for single pilots at the moment. I look at the webpage from time to time but it always says not looking at the moment.
Whats the score if your in the know?

Some news
Just in from the cold and I get told that HNZ are having trouble with pilot numbers for the 139 contract. I did read early in the post 160 pilots put in a CV and then it was down to 100 now they are having trouble to fill the slots.
And please all the people in the know out there, please come back and tell me I'm wrong and kick up a fuss, But it is hot from the client. WOODSIDE.
Brian, Sorry about the knitting, but you must say it was a classic.

Oh really, I heard the opposite. Of all the multitude of applications received, 16 had a tick in every box, including AW139 endorsements, offshore and IFR etc etc. However, I also heard that guys without AW139 endorsements scored interviews as well. And guys without any offshore time scored interviews too. So they must have a big pool of people to choose from who can do the job, from which they only need to crew one helicopter on equal time tours. It will be interesting to see which of the two realities prevails.

Since we're into a heads up I'll join some dots for you. A guy with some major pull from a very prestigious company has taken note of this thread and my reading is that he is none too impressed by a couple of comments made. But of course you already deduced as much, being such smart young Turks.

Really
gulliBell,
Now I know you are pulling my leg. Why would they interview guys with no offshore time when the contract states that the commander must have a minimum of 500 offshore hours. You might have to get CA do try and talk Woodside into letting a few guys on the contract. Ask anyone across the road at Bristow if they would even ask them if they could do it. I think you already know the answer.

2 helicopters are on contract.

Whack job,
You really have no idea, i think you'll find BA was in Baghdad in uniform when you where in you dads bag in liquid form. BA has retired with my more hours, more experience than you could ever wish for.....
As for waiting for his "break" he got it 30 years ago..

Fan club meeting tonight bladeroot!!
Blade root..
Wack-jobs comment is called sarcasm....look it up
And when you go around talking up other peoples experience it just sounds lame. Are you president of his fan club or something?
So impressed!
(That was also sarcasm blade root)
Anyway back to HA, have we figured out how many 139s are actually on the contract?
Didnt Bristow have a couple of Pumas and 76s on it?
How do 2 semi reliable 139s replace that?

Nice line blade root
Like the line about the bags,but I think you will find BA's big break has left a nasty taste in his mouth, as it has with most who have worked or who are working for his last employer
Anyone have word on when the interviews are taking place, or are they all ready completed.
Have heard that HA has more 139's on the way, up to 3 more, do they have any work for these machines, if so then they may be recruiting for some time
, do any of the contracts have long time frames, or are they just short bursts of work, pipe laying barges do not stay around for long?
I hope HA or HNZ do well and can become a major offshore operator, it is about time for a new player on the scene

Strange
666 advo,
Strange that you have heard that. All I have heard of is 3 pilots knocking them back due to money being not in the range they were already on?

Yep
dodgy1,
Was told $157. But that is with Super and DTA added as a whole package.
The other two guys rang them as soon as they got home and declined the offer before any formal offer was made.
