Any feedback regarding this company? They contacted me few months ago, salary seems to be good, with a 2 years completion bonus:confused: A woman runing that company? any feedback very welcome, I need to think twice before make the move, heard that Malaysia is a muslim country and found strange that a Lady lead that company...:suspect:

Weststar
Polop.
I think you need to do a bit more research on Islam. In Malaysia many women hold senior positions; for example the central bank chairperson is female. That having been said, Weststar is not run by a lady. The head of HR is however, and it may have been her that contacted you. |
I been working in other Islamic countries and I'm familiar with the Islam, what I'm trying to confirm is what I've heard about that woman, apparently she's the one wearing the trousers in that company, and many (not good) things about how she runs that operation.

Looking for some gen on Weststar
With both 139 and S76C++ as well as <7000 total time of RW Multi, most of which is offshore, I'd be both interested and grateful if anyone might pm me regarding working conditions, safety culture and 'ballpark' renumeration at Weststar.
I've heard some pretty good rumours whilst cruising to and fro and my current company...well....it's just not what it used to be. |

HR Change at Weststar
The aforementioned HR person, reportedly wearing the trousers at Weststar, will be leaving at the end of November.
Due to rapid expansion suitably qualified AW139 pilots and engineers are needed for touring positions both within and outside Malaysia. CVs to Richard Nicolau if AW139 OGP qualified. |
The aforementioned Mr Richard is associated with a Weststar partner thatl is discontinuing its partnership with WAS early next year.
I suggest all applications go direct to WAS itself.... All Rumour's of course........ |
Absolutely no truth in that rumour I'm afraid. Richard is the correct first point of contact.

Still no info from anyone who's worked there!?
Still nothing :-(
Still looking for info from somebody who works/ has actually worked there. I don't know whether there's a code of secrecy or they chop off your 'cyclic' if you tell anyone, or maybe it's the best job on the planet and so no-one wants to say. Either way would really appreciate some info as per t's and c's and professional and social aspects of working for WestStar 'from the working horses mouth' In fact ANY info at all would be a great start, and I would be most grateful. 76/139 etc TT 15k hours. |
