Yeah I know .. I'm just thinking like a drunk American tourist in this recession. 'Denmark is the capital of Amsterdam right?'- uhhm yeah right but you're in Brussels right now.. I know I don't have 500 hours, a 139 rating and offshore experience, but if a lot of companies all around the world starting to search for F/O's that means positive development!
Thx for the reminder ..

Yep, .. But I've SE/IR not ME. Seems to be a big hazard for the companies in the UK. Don't know why that's a minimum requirement if someone doesn't have the TR yet. Is it OGP or something else? I'm open for pm's.

Lots of low time pilots with R44/R66 experience. The EC130 or Bell 407 time, along with your military experience, will definitely provide you with more interesting opportunities (EMS, charter, sling, utility, tourism) and help to differentiate you from the rest unless you want to instruct, in which case you'd probably be busier in an R44/66.

thanx everybody
Really appreciate all of your efforts,
@apb
Prefered to work in Indonesia, PNG, Australia, NZ and Middle East. Given a reasonable salary and roster open to work at any place though.
@Aucky- nop, no more instructing as it takes lots of efforts on ground preparing a new pilot.
Warm regrds,
flyingscorp.

But plenty of people have been hired with SE IR(H)s. So unless the advert specifically asks for a ME IR(H), I would apply anyway. And Scotland is a lot closer than Macau.

An ME IR(H) only needs a TRI & TRE for the conversion. An SE IR(H) holder also needs an IRI, who might not necessarily be 'on staff'
The privileges of a TRI are to instruct for:
(a) [...]
(b) [...]
(c) [...]
(d) [...]
(e) in the case of the TRI for helicopters:
(a) [...]
(b) [...]
(c) [...]
(d) [...]
(e) in the case of the TRI for helicopters:
(1) the issue, revalidation and renewal of helicopter type ratings;
(2) MCC training, provided he/she holds a multi-pilot helicopter type rating;
(3) the extension of the single-engine IR(H) to multi-engine IR(H);
(2) MCC training, provided he/she holds a multi-pilot helicopter type rating;
(3) the extension of the single-engine IR(H) to multi-engine IR(H);

Thx for the replies! The extra cost was what I was expecting. I will sent my papers to Bond this week. Someone knows what they offer for bonding commitment? And what the numbers of needed F/Os are in Aberdeen (not only Bond but CHC+ Bristow also)?
For the guys with TR's. NHV has some openings on their website. Captain+ F/Os.

And that link confirms that NHV have recently won a contract to operate out of Wick. Remarkable!

I am new here. But I thought I would post in relation to the above position. I have a friend who recently worked there, and most of what he said was quite negative. The positive points where one you get a 139 type rating, if you have not flown internationally then the experience is good and you get a lot of time on the aircraft. The negative side is they have a lot of pilots leaving every year, roughly my friend said out of 30 pilots, 10 leave per year. The reasons he said were mainly due to money, because where they are based it is getting very expensive with cost of living and the housing subsidy for a single pilot is very low that you cannot afford anything descent. Also he had medical problems and that the company policy does not cover anything near in the medical costs for an international pilot, and they say that they have loss of licence coverage, but he found out that that the company changed the policy and that if they can prove you can do any form of work like sit at an office desk then they will not pay, luckily he is not there anymore.
But saying that if you want a 139 type rating go ahead, you will get lots of time.
