Flight Safety International (FSI) has an open position for a rotorcraft SIC Seat Support pilot in Lafayette, Louisiana. Requirements: Rotorcraft Commercial license and 450 TT. These are incredible opportunities to develop comfort in full motion simulators and build your network.
What is SIC Seat Support?
The SIC seat support role will function as a first officer during simulation training events and qualifications for multi-crew aircraft where a client only has one pilot in training. Here's an example: A company flies Bell 206 helicopters and hired a new pilot. They need this pilot qualified but don't have another pilot who also needs to go to training. They will send this new pilot to FlightSafety and need seat support to fill in the other seat during that person's qualifications.
Right now Flight Safety International has an opening for this position in Lafayette, Louisiana. Details here:
