212 requirements are basically the same and same pay.

Also looking for engineers, but I haven't seen an official posting on that.

 

Don't wait for job postings, if you are interested apply now. There are LOTS of pilots and AMEs in the queue so if you are interested, and qualified, apply!

What are their actual requirements for 212 engineers? I'd heard 5 years on type. That rules a lot of guys out. And do they accept a TC recognized 212 course, or is a Bell one the only thing that will do?

 

Not looking to go, I'm in a moral commitment with my current employer, but I'm curious.

Quite a good read. He is a good writer and I agree that anyone thinking about going there needs to do their research. This is not like going up north.

I agree. A good part of that has been written earlier in this thread

 

Too many people, pilots/engineers/etc, show up in these locations first and then realize where they are.

 

I remember the new-hires in west africa getting off the plane, looking around, and getting right back on. That isn't as easy in a war zone.
