FW only about 70 hours of which maybe 5 or 6 PIC. Having done some enquiring it seems an ATPL(H)/IR or CPL(A)/IR will cost about the same, c.£25,000 once I have used my military learning and resettlement credits.
So if you go the FW route you’re going to be starting at the bottom of the pile most likely at LCC and if you’re lucky make it into a legacy within a reasonable timeframe.
The helicopter world you can probably get a decent job right off the bat.
That being said in the FW world the pilot shortage is real and will be chronic in the next 5-10 years.
