Loachboy Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Hello all, I am an Australia citizen currently flying in Australia, I have been licensed for about 10 years and flying full time about 3-4 years. Currently I am doing remote Mine support work, bucketing, sling work etc. I am currently flying B206 and B206L. I have also a bare MD500 endorsement. I have always wanted to work in Canada since I got my Helicopter license, and unfortunately am not eligible for a work visa as I am over 40 years of age. Basically I am asking any of you out there if you know of any companies out there that would sponsor me. I would also like to know if there is a bit of a list of who operates Bell 212 as I would ultimately like to jump in one one day. Thanks in advance to any constructive comments / leads.

500F Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Alpine has 20 212s and I've heard they are great company to work for.http://www.alpinehelicopter.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjibbs Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 I've heard great things about alpine as well. That's why I'm about to finish my Transport Canada conversion this week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddiebauer86 Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Does anyone know what the pay is for this ground crew/low time pilot? I read an article that says you start out fueling aircraft and helping customers, then moving helos from pad to pad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loachboy Posted December 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Thanks to all that replied. I appreciate the input. And a quick note to any low fresh license guys...Try not to hi-jack other members threads. Bad form. Regards Loachy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
