GOM hiring


Five0

Recommended Posts

I have seen more job ads posted in the last year than years past. However, at this time I see only one ad posted recently. That is for ERA in the GOM. There are a lot more HEMS openings including some in TX.

 

Doesn't mean you can't apply with PHI, RLC or Bristow anyway. Since you already have a fair amount of turbine time I would think you would have a better than average chance.

Anyone know if they're hiring much in the GOM right now? Been submitting resumes since June with no response. Tried calling to follow up but always goes to voice mail and never get a return call.

Any advice?

 

Also, are most operators still doing 7/7 or is it mostly 14/14?

 

Thanks,

There hasn't been a lot of hiring in the Gulf in a while. RLC hasn't hired because they lost a contract and I heard that PHI closed a base down there or something. However all it takes is one little agreement between the helicopter companies and the oil companies to suddenly have a huge demand for pilots.

From what I've been told, the gulf needs pilots. I know we are short pilots. I can rarely get vacation requests approved because of the lack of pilots who are available.

 

Just talked to a buddy a few minutes ago and he. Was telling me that his company is short big time. He works for one of the other bigguns.

 

I think the issue in the gulf right now is people not having the experience that some customers are requiring.

Clay,

 

Your vacation isn't approved because your whole life is a vacation. How much more do you want?!?!

 

 

Now get back to work!!!!

Coming from the king of nap time? Ha! When am I moving over to your group? Edited by clay

How long does it usually take to get on with PHI? I have been waiting for two months... is that usual? Can I expect it to take much longer? I also have an application in with ERA and I wouldn't mind getting on with them in their SAR mission. Either one would be great at this point.

 

I'm turing down jobs in hopes to get the call and I can wait it out for a while, but how long is a realistic wait time?

 

I have a passion for flying and I am eager to get on in the GoM. Can anyone give me any guidance?

My thoughts have always been..."what have I got to lose?" ;) You can't lose something you never had in the first place. I say go for it, but that's just me. I have never been one to set around and wait for something to come to me. I had rather go looking for it.
