NHV Looking for N3 co-jo's again

Deadline 15/06/2012
Please do not pay any attention to the job description - the biggest load of HR clap-trap you'll ever come across. It says you are responsible for many things - no, your Captain will have the final word;-)
Ghana is one of the nicer places in W Africa.....................

AS365N1 Corporate UK onshore
LNT Group are advertising this position.
Unfortunately the boss has got his HR department to pen the ad, which, when you read it you'll agree that it hasn't produced anything of much use and HR can't even spell the name of their chopper correctly!!
Filled this role fulltime for 5-years and have been freelancing for the owner a/r when back in UK for the last 2.
IR essential and, as you would expect, owner is very particular who flies him and his family around.
Contact them direct as I'm not involved in recruitment process but happy to provide a proper job description;-)

Hello Angut,
I've actually got an answer from them...but only to tell me that my period of availability doesnt match their urgent need (pretty immediate I suppose)....so no luck for me either....
........by the way...anyone ever had a phone interview with Bristow?....

Hello 400H,
I know but i've been contacted by Bristow's HR and they wanted to arrange this phone interview...I suppose its a sort of pre-interview...I think that the real deal will come later (possibly along a simulator ride)....anyways.....whatever takes me to the "LZ" is all good.....
Regards....

Does anyone have the definative on hours requirement..
Is it true that OGP now have minimum 500hrs ? and are all operators now working to this ?
I was all set for my IR, but I dont have the 500, and therfore have reconsidered starting it until such time as I do ..
I appreciate this does not mean you will get hired at 500hrs, but is it now impossible with 250 + IR ?
Thanks.

As far as I know you don't need 500 hours, I know of a 200 hour merchant with an IR who just started as SNS co-pilot
Also low hours does not at all mean you won't get hired as a low hours person is a lower cost than a high hours one.
OGP manual appendix 5B suggests 200 hours is Ok, appendix 5A suggests 500 hours but is only a recommendation I think. See page 118/120

Every offshore operator I Approached told me to keep in touch and come back when I had 500 hours as those were the minimums. I kept in touch and after 18 months of pestering them they called me for an interview and subsequently offered me a job.
I had less than 500 at time Of interview
Cheers

Not all of the oil companies are OGP compliant (yet). So if an operator has a contract with a non-OGP customer, it is still possible to be hired with <500hrs.
Anyway, 500hrs TT is bit of a red herring. IIRC, the OGP requirement for a P2 is 500hrs ME heli (or having trained in an establishment with a recognised course of training, or words to that effect. Which is why Bristow Acadamy is often cited).
