Good times return....?

An upbeat thought.

Brent Crude is back up around $60 a barrel. Should we who want NS work and have spent 100 plus grand getting CPL/IR (man-size, not FAA) started getting a twitch in our shorts?

No!

SNS is all gas anyway. A few people due to retire from SNS bases very soon, but they're contractors anyway. Saying that, you could always get a type rating and ask for contract work, if you have any experience.


There might be a couple of S76 vacancies coming up soon at Humberside.

Bizarrely, perhaps, I actually WANT to be an instructor. No North Sea for me, thanks.
I gather you no longer want to be an FI then?

I know. The unsettled feeling. The motorbike. The desire to have weekends away on the beer, and an attraction to young women with mini-skirts. That's not a mid life, that's just normal.

Actually I am an FI and, so far, I enjoy it. Problem with that, dude?

Phil, that's as may be, but apparently he hasn't got any big-boy pants yet.

Err, "dude" I have no problem. But rest assured, I'm sure you will have a long and illustrious flying career.

Define "big boy pants". Are those the ones with extra room for dangly bits?

I wouldn't hold your breath since the operators were last recruiting to satisfy demand at $150/bbl.

But don't take it from anonymous old me or anyone else on here. Pick up the phone ask the only people who know about recruitment - the operators themselves.
