NZHelo... when the alternative is getting paid very little to do more dangerous work in machines that aren't as well looked after... I'll take the boredom thanks.

Which begs the question: are you in aviation as a Helicopter Pilot, or as a systems operator looking for a wage?

If you're a Helicopter Pilot then offshore flying has its attractions, but can become tedious over the years. The airline flying of the helicopter world with the same limitations of being extremely regulated and little variation.

But I can see the attraction for many: having been there for about 8+ years I far prefer the variety and challenge of GA helicopter ops.

I was offered a job with Lloyds years ago....turned it down as a glorified taxi driver did not appeal.

Besides...never having done a w&b since my com exam, never owning current publications since my com exam and going several years without maps.....probably meant I was not meant for the regulated life....

There might be more than two options out there if you look hard enough!

Here's another option

I think quite a few people have been waiting intently for this advert to come to fruition. The post count will go nuts, although half of the views in here already are probably my own...

Good luck all.

The 189 from what I am hearing is a VERY sexy beast, lets hope we get them down here sometime soon.
