HA...way behind
Hi MBH1,
As a person very close to HA i am too wondering what is happening with the EBA for the 139 jobs out of KA. I have heard two lots of info about HA recently and they are not good. Firstly it was regarding the EBA talks for the current HA pilots both KA and Gove. Apparently there will be no negotiations just a published agreement...don't know what that means but apparently there will be no discussions. Can't wait to see the reactions from the pilots. Secondly it is rumoured (pprune) that HA will be at least matching Bristows EBA deal. But from one source inside HA...they have not finalised any pay structures/agreements.
It seems to me that HA will be lagging behind the rest of the big operaters in Australia and hence will soon suffer from the same crewing problems in the very near future unless they are keen match the benefits the other already provide.

I can't see there being 150 suitable applicants. Will this make way for pilots to join the Perth operation cos I'm guessing some of the existing Perth pilots will take up twin positions or are they both seperate?

I think that the operation will be a H NZ affair.
The ad is for Helicopters NZ ....
HNZ HELICOPTER GROUP OF COMPANIES
HELICOPTER PILOTS & CO-PILOTS
HNZ Pty Ltd is a division of the HNZ Helicopter Group of Companies soon to be operating AW139 aircraft from our Karratha base.
I think a few vacancies may appear for the Perth Base.

Would be great to hear from anyone who got an interview, I sent a resume but got a thanks but no thanks response even though I had a lot more than the minimum for the co positions, Was told they got a lot of applicants with IFR experience. Was all through Human Resources Australia though so not sure why it was advertised by HNZ.....
Would love to know the length of tour's and conditions they were offering.

From when i spoke to the HR person she said the the rotations were going to be 2 weeks on 2 weeks off but she added that they are looking into a 28 day cycle. I presume that this would be for the HNZ pilots coming over from NZ (a bit expensive to tour from NZ every two weeks plus all the travel time to get to and from lovely KA)
As far as HA and HNZ go they are basically the same thing. HR for both companies is being based in Perth.
For the 150 applications, they will probably loose a significant amount if they don't at least equal the Bristow or Jayrow EBA. If you can get a better deal there why go to HA.
I eagerly await the pay and conditions...if any one has more info it would be much appreciated.

Under the Trans Tasman agreement they can operate in Aus as if it is NZ.
HNZ is the company with the track record, probably been in the offshore game as long if not longer than anyone in Aus. This company started in 1955 and first got into offshore about 1969.

Are the machines going to be VH rego'd, heard they may not be....
With the exchange rates at the moment to pay someone $100k+ NZD is a lot better than same in aus dollars. Think more NZ pilots filling seats than aust....

Those that haven't heard something might hear something soon. They have been having technical problems with phones and emails. BTW last count was over 160 applications. Rumored pay for Captain position in the order of $107k.

Good news, thought there might be something wrong as their phones were always engaged. 160 applications is awesome, however I think many will withdraw with that kind of money.

I thought there was a big difference between what the guys in NZ were getting paid flying for HNZ and the HA crews.
Doesnt sounds like it, theyre both crap wages.
160 pilots for 59K and 107K, jeeze you guys no wonder you get paid less than engineers.

- maybe i should stay in my VFR single a little longer!!
Perhaps so. The HA BK117 drivers at Gove are on more than 107K so fair chance you can factor in some DTA to top-up the salary for the 139 drivers. But that's just a guess.

Friendly black dog,
How do you work that out (i'm not taking the piss)
looking at the BH EBA it looks like the starting $$ for cojos is 60K
and yet I hear thats not correct? can anyone tell me the actual starting money for cojos at BH.
Thanks
