T5limit Posted July 27, 2003 Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 Looking for some honest opinions from those out there who are or have worked for them. Where are they using 76''s? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladestrike Posted July 27, 2003 Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 My experience with them has been quite good. Treated fairly from day one. In my humble opinion, a very professional operation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
412driver Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 the only gripe i had with them were the long shifts. the LAST one being 10 weeks....... other than that they treat you ok and the tax break is nice. they use the 76's in thailand, philippines, burma, indonesia, iran, azerbijian...... did i miss any?

downwash Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 That's OK, 412. Bladestrike missed the ALL in his first effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news is that it is being crewed by CHC Africa division ( the helicopter company formerly known as Cort). They don't want to pay Cdn. wages or airfares and try to crew it with South Africans. Every single person I knew who worked there came back with Malaria. However CHC has quite a few nice jobs they will send you to if you are one of the chosen.

cyclic monkey Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 Hmmmm, Malabo or Manning, ???????? Us pilots sure have a lot of tough decisions to make, eh ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deuce bigalow Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 Right. Root canal or colonoscopy. However...does anyone know what the range of salaries and benifits are at CHC Int these days. I've heard it is still notsohotso and that they include the internation tax credit as the reason. This is interesting as the policy manual used to say and probably still does that the company is not responsible for personal taxes (meaning that if they want you to do a tour in Canada which will screw up the tax break thats just too bad.) Time for a raise I think. However given the fact that they and everyone else apparently have excess personnel this is not likely to happen soon.
