Everyone seem to be lying on here about how great HM is. Why is the company firing one pilot a month on average? Look at a janitor the wrong way, Fired!, Land on the wrong platform,..Fired, Complain about paycheck not showing up, Fired!
Ask the people who say HM is that great and ask about this little unknown truth.... All the original pilots that started at HM, have all been fired and these were good pilots. One was fired for citing a safety violation in accordance with Chevron policy. If it comes between an Angolan and an Ex Pat, Ex Pat loses. Do your self a favor, go to another company that won't !!!! all over you. HM offers nothing, no benefits, no bonus, no christmas pay, holiday pay, NOTHING!!!!!!!
Stay away from this outfit!

What - you mean they tax your pay and expect you to work for 11 months of the year too?
If you are there for any other reason than the money then you are there for the wrong reason. You want equality, pension, health care, legal rights etc, etc? Stay at home.

oh, this must be the Ronabbott that got out of a helicopter (with both engines running) on an offshore platform to chew out customers for not being ready when he landed....yea, those pesky rules sure do cause problems sometimes 
Sounds like some sour grapes to me

Heli Malongo is basically a JV between Chevron and Sonair supporting the platforms offshore Cabinda. Living in the Cabinda camp can be a little tedious from my experience there a few years ago. The rotation used ti be 28 and 28 but I don't know what it is now.

Hi
I've read some of the mail.....
Check page 2 of this thread, there are e-mail addresses of the chief pilot and chief engineer..... Maybe that helps, also the last page for pilots, if you want to send your CV to the chief pilot, he will forward it to the chief engineer.
Keep in touch, keep it safe, thy rotor RPM is thy staff of life, without it, thee shalt surely perish......
Let infinite discretion govern thy movement about the earth, lest thee rise and smite thee.....

Thanks guy, but I did it a couple of times without reply...
I'm looking for someone who had more luck with them or is actually inside the business

I'm considering moving to Angola (Luanda) to work as a software Engineer for a while so that I can personally contact local Helicopter Operators. I'm another low hour pilot (200 hours) with JAA CPL(H) (with ATL(H) theory) and IR(H).
Do you think I will have any chance of a position as a first officer not being Angolan? I speak both portuguese and english and will have a Working Visa (as a Software Engineer).
Any suggestion/comment will be very appreciated.
Thanks,
Pedro
