Max demand: countries that need chopper pilots?

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

I'm a British CPL(H), with a New Zealand licence and a pretty rounded background in business and training. I'm on the look out for opportunities outside NZ after I finish up my initial training. That could be piloting or more likely helping out with business/crewing part of a heli operation, as a start. So, I guess the question is:
Which countries are the 'growth markets' for helicopter pilots?
I suppose this could include:
- Which countries have a rising demand for chopper pilots?
- Where are there shortages of pilots or crew?
- What countries are most 'welcoming' to ex-pat pilots?
I don't think there are necessarily any right or wrong answers, but really interested to hear about people's experiences across different regions. All ideas gratefully received!
Thx.

1967 US Army. Time travel required.

 

I've worked with pilots from all over the world here in the US. But- cheap oil has made a lot of pilots redundant in the US market. This ain't the place to be right now...

Anyone got any experience of getting into the Chinese market? It seems a good guess to say there will be growth in the helicopter industry in China. I suspect the issue may be getting in if one is not a Chinese national?

It's kinda frustrating looking at job postings in countries like AUS and NZ that require a citizenship on top of that countries' respective rating.

 

Maybe once TPP is law, all of those worker protections/preferences will get abolished and I can apply and I'd be willing to work for less too.

 

hehehe
