Hi,

Well enough money to live on and support a family would be nice.
Dont mind where really, middle of England would be nice as thats where all the relatives are ( but i dont want to be to close to them, hahaha ) and i dont mind what kind of machine. just looking for general info testing the waters kinda thing.
Ive been looking through web sites but not many companies advertise vacancies on thier own sites, and i'm not close enough yet to ask for work ( just over 1000 hrs piston with a few hours turbine)

So anyone have some general info???

Cheers Lee...

What kind of licence do you hold? What country? What types? do you Instruct? You may have to convert first and that ain't simple. Rigs will take you with just a CPL and minimum hours if they're looking but most people are getting an IR first before applying, Police are looking for lots more turbine than you have. post again with more information.

hi, well i have an american and Canadian cpl which i know i will have to convert. i was instructing but i'm finding different work at the mo, thats why i'm trying to find out the mins etc so if i come back to the UK sometime in the future it wont be a nasty shock when i'm looking for work.
Really looking for very general info like the min that the rigs would look at you with, or how much turbine time the police generally want.
