You don't say how old you are, or exactly what you want to know. :confused:

While in general older people take longer to learn, individuals have a way of confounding the generalisations. And...

It's the "well paid" job you ask about that gives me doubts. Sure, you'll get a job. Instructors are always needed, especially if you're flexible and willing to travel. I suspect ditto in Oz for...

PPRUNE FAN,

Good post. :ok: You're right, we do spend lots of time telling people how wonderful helicopter flying is, without presenting the other side. If I felt you'd gone slightly too far...

Camp Freddie,

I haven't checked your figures, but I think you could knock a few grand off if you did some of the hourbuilding in US/Oz/S Africa. Plus you'd get some experience that you couldn't...

I haven't been around long enough to be in any way an expert on the helicopter industry, but I do wonder if this isn't becoming a little bit one-sided. Also, mrgogetter lives in the UK, which could...

When I was doing my CPL and instructor's rating, almost everybody I ran into was in their 30s, if not older. Most younger people don't have the money; they can't do it unless they've gone the...

In November 2001, with 185 hours and a brand new CPL(H), I phoned an acquaintance who's a North Sea helicopter pilot. My plans had always been to instruct part time; I didn't want a new career, just...

mistoo,

I'm sure there are many people here who are closer to this than I am, but I'll tell you what I've heard anyway. According to my North Sea pilot friend, those now in charge don't look that...

mistoo,

When I was vaguely considering the North Sea (or at least everyone else was saying that's what I should do) a couple of people in Aberdeen reckoned £15,000 for an IR. But I have a vague...
