Fixed wing to rotary

I was wondering what are the prospects flying helos after logging 2000hrs of which 500 PIC in the military flying multi-engine turbo prop. Airplane is Lockheed P3 Orion variant.

Any chance getting anything significant that requires a FO such as S-76/92, etc? Anywhere in the world is fine.

I would stay in the fixed wing market, approach the airlines for an FO job.

Heli market in dire straights at the moment

2's in on what ersa has just said. Looks like you have got some great quality FW time logged in the mil too. Thought about a mil crossover to helis if available? If you have already made the decision to go civi heli, it may be worth speaking with paco (CAPT) especially with your location in mind.
