Where to go for 30/30 shifts?
Does anyone know which jobs around the world offer a 30 on/30 off or similar type roster?
I've spent ages reading through the forums and I haven't really found much info on this.

Sorry to be dumb but, 30 what on 30 what off?
Are you talking about 4 weeks on 4 weeks off?, and is that
rotary wing Pilot, or engineer?

I should have been clearer.
I'm looking for companies that would hire helicopter pilots on a rotational shift, ie working 30 days and off the next 30 days. This would allow me to commute to where the job is and keep my existing address for the off time.
Thanks for the answers so far.

I have to ask, why specifically 30/30? Most of the GoM companies have 14/14 shifts and many pilots commute to the west coast. I commute from NW WA and generally the travel time is about 12 hrs door to door.
CHC and Bristow are generally 6weeks on/off in Africa and SE Asia, VIH is operating 4/4 in Aus.
