No worries, Lads.....they write "Minimum requirements" just for the fun of it...
:ugh:


If the ad states the minimum requirements-and you don´t fulfill them-simply don´t apply.

The massive amount of (unqualified) applications is one of the reasons pilots mainly never get a reply for an application (not even a "No, Thx")...

Flight instructor job in Switzerland:

http://www.swisshelicopter.ch/images...or_balzers.pdf

Yes, if you're Nigerian

Yes, of course!

Wanna bet!

Without an IR, most unlikely.

Bitmonx,

A former colleague with NO real offshore time (ie. rig flying) with 212 hrs, and a 412 difference typerating (4hrs in a sim) got hired by Bristows, so the minimum on type is definately not so. They WANT these figures, but they have to fill the seats, and if they don't get pilots with their minimums they don't get to fill those seat....or they must make changes to their mins.

Hueyracer,

Well, the companies are raising the minimums and sometimes it comes back to bite them in the a$$. If they don't get applicants that meet the minimums, they have to take whoever that is closest to the requirements.
So if yo don't want to apply for jobs that might look like you can't get that is up to you.

I know many pilots that has done just that and got hired, but I also know of a few that has not tried applying due to low hours and not right type experience which is no longer in the game.

Good luck, in any case!

Thank god i am sitting on the other side of the fence now..

I have a good job, not looking for another one-and I am picking the pilots....
:D

Nigeria ... Today they removed B412 & 332 from Job description, only S92 and S76 C++ ...

JR

That sucks......well, I applied anyway!

There is nothing in the ad that specifies S92 or S76 type ratings required - just the hour requirement. I personally cannot envisage many S92 pilots queueing up to fly in Nigeria.

Geez..
 

Huey did someone die and you were made boss..guess I didn't get the message. :ooh:

Noticed Zenon looking for 139 Capt's for SE Asia, anyone know who it is for?

Think you'll find that reads "Cental Asia' old boy. My guess is Kazakhstan - not Thailand.

Zeon central asia = Silkway, Baku,Azerbaijan

Looks about right, though it could be CHC in Kazakhstan:

“Silk Way Helicopter Services “ LLC looking for Augusta Westland AW139 pilots (TRE and captains).
Requirements are :

License –ATPL (H)
Type rating on AW139
Instrument rating
Total hours more than 3000h
Total hours in command 1500h
Total hours command on AW139 more than 100h
Please send your CV to [email protected] for futher discussions

I would be surprised if it was CHC as Global have their own recruitment process and AFAIK they do not use emplyment agencies. Mind you it is so grim in Kaz that they might well have trouble recruiting.

Cheers

Atyrau is not that bad, there are many worse places.

Is it still possible to apply for the AW139 job in Kaz? I have sent my CV at the email address indicated on the website, but the message is turning back - (invalid address)

Somebody knows why?

Many thanks

Be wary of Titan Helicopters. They have been struggling to get pilots in South Africa for several years, despite there being no pilot shortage in SA, and are now trying to find staff internationally. I personally know pilots who will never fly for them again. They recently recruited an American to fly in Oranjemund, Namibia and he only lasted 3 weeks with them. I'm not sure what happened with him but its certainly a pretty bad sign.

Isn't Titan just a re-badged Court Helicopters? Court had that Oranjemund gig for many years and, from what I heard from people who worked there, it was a pretty good job, certainly in comparison to other options in Africa.

Regarding Americans, generally. I've found them to have a good work ethic however when they get out of their comfort zone, at remote places devoid of modern conveniences like telephone and internet and air conditioning and good food and other such every day things normally taken for granted, they can struggle to cope. So I wouldn't be surprised if just the "Africa factor" might have something to do with short staff retention.

That has nothing to do with being (or not being) an American....
There are people that enjoy working in remote areas-and some who don´t.

There are people who enjoy flying ENG-and some who hate it...
There are people who enjoy flying EMS-and some don´t...

I have also heard from a pilot who works for Titan as a Freelancer, who said that he would never work for that company full time....

Maybe so, but it remains my observation in those operations which I'm familiar with...when our US friends find themselves in 3rd World ops, having lost their access to modern World technology, morale goes down and they tend to not hang around outside their comfort zone for long. I've seen it time and time again....

As for Titan, I have no idea whether this has anything to do with it or not, but I would have thought Oranjemund to be a pretty good gig by Africa standards.

Court Helicopters had the Oranjemund contract among others and was very successful for many years. CHC Africa took over Court's operations several years ago after the CEO died and the company became CHC Africa. Some time later when CHC decided to close CHC Africa and run everything from Canada they sold off their unwanted operations, including Oranjemund and the two S76A++'s operating there. Titan, a George based South African company, bought the operation from CHC in 2008. Titan dusted off the Court name and re-introduced it as it had had a good reputation in Namibia and South Africa and obviously they couldn't continue to use CHC's name on the operation.

I wasn't implying anything about Americans at all on my previous post. My point was simply to be careful since Titan are battling to find pilots who will work for them locally (Southern Africa) where they are well known and are now looking further afield and so far the trend isn't good.

That might as well be because they are offering peanuts...and we all know what you get when you pay peanuts...

Good point....!

...and how many peanuts per month might they be offering for Oranjemund?

10,0000 US peanuts per month which I think would make some monkeys quite happy.

But if that doesn't do it for you then you could work in the tropical paradise of Aberdeen paying UK tax:

Bristow Helicopters LTD is now recruiting additional key staff to support our business and customer requirements.

I have been asked to do some longlining on Bell mediums, with 6/6 rotation.....
They wanted to pay 10.000 USD per month..

After several emails, the rotation changed to 8/4, the payment to 7000 USD/month, and the job from longlining to Onshore Pax and Cargo flying....


Be sure what you´re hiring for....

...and I was asked to do some long-lining on Bell mediums for $10,000 USD/month on 28/28 rotation, which turned out to be $10,000 for the month you worked, but nothing for the month off. Proceed with caution!
