Helicorp - is it a good company?

Hi all

Has anyone had some recent involvement (last 2 years) with Helicorp (Aust.) and if yes are they a good, professional organisation or one to be cautious with?

Any relevant info is appreciated

bladebanger ... up to your usual tricks I see.

An old Kiwi Prime Minister once said about NZ'ers moving across the ditch, that it would "improve the IQ of both countries" ... seems you're flat out proving the point.

Cool Well

Kwikenz,
No tricks, I just deal in fact's. There are none there, and I've heard due to that fact it's a good company!

Well, the latest job ad does have PM as the contact person so I think you can answer yes to the last question.

What does employing kiwi's have to do with whether or not a company is reputable & good to work for? Or are you being facetious.......?

maybe the issue is not 'why are no kiwis employed by this company', but why do kiwis choose not to work for this company, pehaps they could,nt get any kiwis to work for them, just a thought

Cool No

Semi Rigid,
Well if there were Kiwi's working there it would be not as good a place to work. Facetious? Well only a little.

fedacdegraded,
Kiwi's choosing NOT to work somewhere? I find that unimaginable.

Bladebanger - I have visited many companies around the world and all nationalities have their $hit hot guys and they all have their farQknuckles, and that includes Aussies and Kiwis.

Making a comment such as yours just shows ignorance as some of your fellow countrymen leave a lot to be desired, and on the other hand I have met many Australians who I would classify as true professionals and are some of the best in the business.

Give credit where credit is due and base your opinion on individuals and their actions, and not a generalisation of a nationality.

Ned-Air2Air,
Did you ever visit Pacific In PNG. If so you would know what I'm on about. Good company, good people to work with, great pay and conditions. Have a look NOW. Now that's giving credit where credit is due. (you asked for that one).

Granny,
Well pointed out.

Banger - No I havent so cant comment, but just because its being run by specific kiwis that you dont like, doesnt mean that every kiwi is entitled to be bagged.

Its like someone not liking you at whatever company you work for an then bagging every other Aussie because of it. Thats all I am trying to say, dont tar everyone with the same brush. We all have our good people and we all have the others who we would rather wish stayed locked up in the garden shed.

What's wrong with Pacific Helicopters NOW? If that was your inference.
