Gulf Helicopters Qatar

[Princess]

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

I lived/worked in Saudi for 18yrs, although not involved in aviation. if you have any questions, feel free to PM me.

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

I would probably put Aerogulf first, but then I'm biased.
