:)does his last name start with H and end in aughey?

I'm sorry, didn't realise there was problem with being well informed, maybe we should just keep it to unsubstantiated rumour to keep you happy Aw139!

Given that your friend works there you must be equally well informed. Touché

101BOY

The truth is fine with me :D but my understanding is that all the pilots that have gone from Haughey Air over the last few years, have been there own making in one way or another ?
I could list them but that would be totally unprofessional I think :ok:

I have no idea what you guys are talking about but it reminds me of what seems to be a truism -

One pilot's heaven is another pilot's hell.

Hopefully everyone ends up happy.

Training Captains & line Pilots for BOND
 

I am looking for some advice concerning the latest job advertisement for Bond aviation group:
Training Captains & Line Pilots Job in UK - Jobsite

Currently working as military instructor pilot on CH-53 (heavy transport helicopter) in German Armed Forces I am planing my conversion to the civil world. I am still totally unexperienced :\ concerning the civil helicopter offshore business and following this forum with high interest.

My question: Does Bond recruit also non UK-citizen ? On their website I got the feeling that they are kind of "UK only".

Yes.

Although bear in mind that you will need to already have a JAR/EASA CPL(H) & IR or ATPL(H).

.. and you gotta have permission to work in the UK (no problem for EU citizens). And be prepared to endure stupid british nazi jokes ;)

:ugh: oh dear.........:= What a clown you are

I think the Nazis were mainly Germans ;)

P1

C'mon guys, cheer up .. and don't mention the war :)

Nice one Jymil :D

Yes Bond do employ foreigners.

The constant reminders of the 1966 world cup is far worse.....:}:}:}:}

Captain-Rotary Wing Job Trenton, NJ | Careers In Pharmaceutical

The latter job probably comes with benefits in form of blue pills :-)

Thanks for the encouragement !

Did a 4-month tour with a British infantry battalion in Mazar-e Sharif, Afghanistan back in 2002.
As the only German (and their only rotorcraft expert) I was assigned as a german liasion. Lot of experience back then... :O
And a couple of (not to bad) nazi jokes...

With an JAR ATPL (H)-IR MCC in my pocket and the experience of a couple of unanswered applications I wonder whether my german origin or my military background is the main cause for not being successful so far with my transition in the civil world.

By the way I like Monty Python ! :D

Neither of those elements should be an issue. There are plenty of military pilots and plenty of German pilots working, or have worked, in the UK offshore industry.

However, you will be in the queue behind pilots who already have a) the required type rating or b) offshore experience. Your 'heavy type' experience and instructor background will be very well regarded though, putting you ahead of others in the queue.

Additionally, you say that you are 'currently working as military instructor pilot'. How long until you will be leaving the military? The requirement for offshore positions is often very immediate (ie yesterday!) so some operators might not be able to wait months for you to leave your current position.



You can't be all bad then... ;)

Thanks for the info.
I definitly lack the offshore experience and the type-rating. But I will work on the later.
Leaving military in 4 month and I will give myself 12 month to get a copilot seat with the "big boys" (S92, AW139, EC225). I am a fan of Sikorsky though.

If I fail, I have to earn my money with my master's degree in business engineering (2nd best idea).
But just started to look around. I have really not much to complain about so far.
Let's see what the future brings !
Again thanks for the advice! :ok:

just some options you could try...

Has anyone else heard back from Mr Akinbobola about the Bristow Cadet Pilot roles in Nigeria? And the first round of selections in January at the Sheraton, Lagos. His email ends with @bristowgroup.com but having not worked in Africa, or interviewed there I hope someone help in verifying it's credibility, or otherwise.

Thanks

Just send him the money first. Everything will be fine.

Brilliant!

:D

Very "mature" answer Adroight...
 

:ugh:

Some guys haven't had the luxury as they start up to have seen the world like yourself Adroight. :yuk:

Aucky, read up on Nigerian 419 scams on Google. Beware of dealing "directly" with some "reputable staff members" of Bristow or any other employment companies in Nigeria.

I would suggest you contact the required helicopter company via their official website and deal with their HR, not some individual who has a "Bristow" email address.

Good luck!

Afghanistan........
 

Abu Dhabi Aviation are sending 5 Bell412's to Afghanistan as soon as possible (Early-Mid December 2012) for a new contract. They're looking for crews.
The aircraft are "N" registered (American) so crews will need an American licence.

Aucky, regardless of the legitimacy of the individual you refer to, the Bristow Nigeria pilot cadet scheme is for Nigerians only!

Is there anyone on here working for Evergreen up in Alaska right now?

Any info would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Sure, I will, untill it's your money on the line one day!:ok:

Helicopter Pilot, Aldergrove Grafton ESP, Jobs in Belfast - NIjobs.com

This job or a very similar one appeared a while back. Presumably there is a similar temporary need for extra hands. If I was interested, there are a series of questions that the advert raises in my mind. Basically they want a typed and current police line pilot, but they don't say when or for how long. Any such pilot would need to fit it in around his other commitments.

It seems to be written by a HR bod, so things get expressed very differently from how would be normal in aviation, in my experience. Much easier, if they quoted a day or shift rate (or even a rate for a cycle of shifts on the roster).

I guess there will be few suitable candidates on the Emerald Isle, so non-chargeable flight transport costs will be a big variable that the job description does not allow a candidate to estimate.
