SM- you call Australians work dodgers. Maybe you should spend more time at work yourself as you seem to spend an awful lot of time concocting up all sorts of dribble on this and the West Africa site. You were obviously bullied quite badly at school as all you seem to do is attempt to bait others trying to have constructive discussions whilst you hide behind your keyboard yapping away like a child. May I suggest that you reinvent yourself, quit being such a bore and grow up. Anyway, moving right along.......

Point of fact
 

BB,

94% of BHA pilots voted in favour of taking protected IA. However, not all facets of the proposed IA were voted in favour of.

Regardless, it sent a very clear message of intent.

Bristow Helicopters Australia Pay Rise
 

Anybody able to cast some light on the rumoured BHL Australia pay award just recently?

There hasn't been a recent pay award. The guys are about half way through a 2 and a half year agreement.

PM me if you want the latest.

Unfortunately there is little (read no) movement at the moment. BHA haven't hired for some time and that doesn't appear likely to change in the near future.

There are a few stories floating around, I have heard some applicants received the 'You have been short listed" email. I guess they are matching staff to airframes over the coming months. Good luck to all who applied.

....I got the May email, which I take to mean I haven't been short-listed. Good luck to those who have been, it should be a pretty good gig.

Over 400 applicants so it will take a while to sort through them, good luck though and don't give up just yet if you haven't heard anything.

G'day all

I've had a call from HR and I've been selected for an interview. Can anyone give me a heads up on the process? What testing processes do Bristow use, PILAPS/Compass?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

BHL "What have you flown?"
GtV "RN Seakings for seven years"
BHL "When can you start?"

AAhh the good old days ( when CRM stood for Count the Rings Mate!)

;)

There must be lots of surplus pilots in Oz looking for work as HNZ tells a similar story of being "swamped" with applications.
