What's going on at Heli Air?

[Bronx]

Pilots don't just leave their jobs for no reason especially at a time when it's not easy to get another job but it's hard to stay where your not wanted. Nobody wants to go to work and be miserable every day.

From what I've read on this thread and heard elsewhere the new regime wanted the old Heliair guys out and made life miserable for them, changing their jobs, taking away their responsibilities, threatening to fire them for some misdemeanour etc etc.

If what's been said on this thread about the new MD's mega ego is even half true it's not surprising he'd want this high profile guy out of the way.

And if you would like to work for Sean, see their website for employment opportuities including full time and freelance pilots. Just a further suggestion that the mass exodus has nothing to do with a lack of work.

Work for SB?

Frankly, I'd rather eat my own poo.

What's going on at Heli Air? (March update)

Amazing the comments on here! SO uninformed.

Q would have shown more professionalism in front of the crowd who came to see the best thing since sliced bread.

Suppose you must be right

same old stuff ....the launch was a great day for 99% of us.

Yes some people have left Heli Air. But when people leave it is always for good reason

Perhaps you should try telling that line to my friend whom used to work for Heliair

Experienced onshore pilot, experienced FI, clean flying record...........
Availability provided to Heliair, only to have his name simply not appear on the flying availability list. After many years with Heliair he didn't even warrant a phonecall What he did warrant was a full retail invoice for a base check that Heliair had asked him to complete

In the meantime Heli Air are busy selling helicopters and recruiting good pilots and instructors.

Are you implying that Heliair 'let go' pilots and instructors that were no good?

Whether rumours of poor staff treatment are correct or not, I'd be surprised if established experienced staff flock to Heliair.

So perhaps you'd stop 'the same old stuff too' ?

The contributors to this forum may be many things, but they are not uninformed.

zip obviously didn’t believe me when I wrote on the 14th March:

You have posted only 6 times.
Almost all those posts have extolled the virtues of Robinsons, HeliAir and SB.

The regulars on this forum aren't stupid and will undoubtedly realise that you have a very close association with HeliAir and with SB.

Some of his posts have been removed. Here are some examples -

23rd Jan 2011:

“Does anyone have an update on the R66 ?
Seems there are a huge number of people waiting to buy one .....”

Seems like a genuine and innocent question - unless you know that zip is a businessman whom Sean Brown describes as his ‘mentor’ and “a consummate entrepreneurial professional”.

Same date, different thread: Blatantly promoting/advertising HeliAir.

14th March 2011:

“Flown it / power is great / speed good / cost to run is awesome - potentially cheaper than an R44!”

(His plug for HeliAir was deleted.)

Same date:

“The Heli Air launch was excellent .... I do not think many people would go to the effort SB did."

According to professional pilots on this forum, what SB demonstrated at the launch was ego, inexperience in helicopters and poor airmanship - to the alarm of those with enough experience to recognise the obvious danger.
