Nice! Any info about the salary and roster in Hong Kong?
I'm a low time pilot who is really searching for an F/O job.
Thx

FYI, the jobs are based in Macau, not Hong Kong. And "Preference will be given to candidates holding an AW139 endorsement".

Good luck.

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 ..

Have you got an IR?

All 3 Aberdeen operators are currently recruiting.

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.

which hel has better job oppurtunity R-44/66, BELL-407 or EC 130
 

Somebody plz plz help,

Just retired from 20 yrs' military life. Logged around 4000 hrs out of which 1000 is on F wing, 3000 hrs on R wing (all turbine), MI series 750 hrs, Bell-212- 2000 hrs, Have been instructor/examineer for long time, Flew all types of heli sorties but logged extensive mountain operations. Rt now finished CPL grd exams, but confused regarding type rating, Have job offer for R-44/66, Bell-407and EC 130. Salary almost same for all three types. Other facilities are no much different. If anyone let me know which one to chose from R-44/66 or BELL-407 or else EC130. For better future which helicopter is likely to provide better career/job oppurtunity around the world.

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.

It depends in which country do you want to work,or most important, you can work. See which helicopters have these countries, contact with companies and ask what they are demanding, and then you can decide.

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.

Why do they always have positions available?
Salary? Conditions? Pilots leaving? Or just they don't find people with that profile?

:confused:

<snip> [Post edited & corrected in light of Courtesy Car's post below.]

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.

From FCL.905.TRI:

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.

Well, I never. Every day's a training day. I was obviously given a 'bum steer' in the past. Thanks for that.

Don't think you were given a bum steer. I'm pretty sure that it was as you described pre-EASA.

Job Overview

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.
