There's an excel thing doing the rounds amongst the troops with all salaries on it, well all except Bond.

And yet they stil require ME-IR (SE aparently not good enough), MCC courses (they could easily provide) and NHV and CHC even the H175 Type Rating (who the hell has an H175 rating outside of offshore O&G)? So the applicant (of which there aren't that many aparently!!!) has to pay his way into the copilo's seat despite the fact they can't fill these seats? Doesn't sound very reasonable to me.

Having read both adverts, you are wrong.

chc require type rating, nhv states desirable and may be provided, i know ohs and nhv will supply mcc, they have for recent new joiners

The MCC is usually covered in the initial TR. At least, it used to be.

Depends on the ATO

All of the ‘Big 3/4’ run their own TR courses.

True, but a TR course is specific to the ATO, some will require MCC before the TR, hence why some do MCC separately

It can also vary by fleet within the ATO

So I'm not completely wrong, am I? CHC requires it and NHV MAY provide it. OHS and NHC have it written in their ad that they require MCC so that's the official standpoint. Oh and 500 ME hours on top of all that, nice. Also ME-IR, says so in the AD.

I'm not trying to pick a fight here, just pointing out that the companies might have to come down from their high horse. Beggars can't be choosers etc....

in many cases the heli companies "want" to be flexible but the oil&gas companies / customers (Shell etc) set the minimum requirements.
If for example a FO doesn't have 500hrs ME, the O&G company might not accept the pilot to fly for them.

I think that is probably not reflective of the current (and for some time) thinking process. Shell recognised years ago that hours on their own are not a good metric for selecting low experience pilots, and that the quality of the selection and subsequent training was more relevant. So a structured programme, much as Bristow has used for decades, was an acceptable alternative to just having a set number of hours and is/was stated in the Shell Aviation standards. They have been copied word-for-word within IOGP 690 (and 590 before that).

[In India]

Fly Dheera

Fly Dheera, the company I work for wants to hire a few more pilots.

1x 407
2x AS350 B32x EC 130

Minimums are 1000h TT with 100h on type, 5 of which have to be in the previous 6 months before joining.
The role is VIP flying and pilgrimage.

The 407 pilot is needed ASAP, the others by the end of the year.

As always in India there is no roster. These are full time positions with 30 days paid vacation per year and two round-trip tickets.
Accommodation and transport provided.

PM me.

In your opinion, is there a chance in the near future for offshore job offers in Norway and Sweden for a pilot with CPL(H) without IR(H)? The only plus is that I have ATPL(H) theories and an airplane IR(A) rating

I’d suggest those qualifications might get you a start in Australia at the moment. Just FYI

It's highly unlikely you would be sponsored by a company to work in Australia without significant experience. Companies would be expected to train Australian junior pilots rather than importing them. There would be hundreds of candidates willing to be bonded to receive a MECIR and work for an offshore company.

Correct. I wasn’t suggesting sponsorship. Just that those minimums might get you over the line in Australia. With the current supply/demand.

Anyone in Australia: Now is a good time for progress.
While the employers would like a ME CIR, a SE CIR, FW CIR, NVFR, or FW NVR might put you to the front of the Q.
