Princess Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Hi all! Does anyone here work for or has worked for Gulf Heli's in Qatar? I am in the pre stages of employment and would like some feedback before I commit my self to the Middle East. I am not a new IFR driver, but not experienced in offshore type operations to platforms specifically, but have lots of overwater experience i.e.. SAR, winching vessel transfers etc. The position being offered is Captain. Also some info on Yemen, Saudi and Libya as they mentioned I may tour too those bases. It seems the initial offer is for touring (6n6) but I would like to try married accompanied at some stage if all seems good. I found on the internet (pprune) that they bond for 50K and 3 years for a 139 endorsement can anyone verify that? I have 412 but not 139. Thanks Princess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD BULL Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Heard they where hiring, I would be interested to know some more details as well...... From what a mate told me the UAE operators go in this order from best to worst: FAS (touring) AeroGulf (married accompanied) ADA (touring) Gulf (touring or married accompanied) This info is a bit dated so things may have changed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Croucher Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 I would probably put Aerogulf first, but then I'm biased. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
