I agree with the above post. However.... of all the ex mil RW guys I know.. all have gone FW in the last year. Admittedly I only know a small percentage of those leaving but it must be a sign of the times.
A job in one of the above RW worlds would probably be achievable but it's not a pick and choose list, it's apply for all and you'd probably get one of them. HEMS most likely.
Also if you look at pay (not the be all and end all but for some it might be ). The only comparable pay to FW is O&G and SAR which roughly follows narrow body short haul pay. O&G is a fickle beast ( and if you're going to fly in straight lines why not do it where someone brings you a coffee at the push of a button!? ) and SAR is probably a long shot seeing as 100+ RW pilots were hoovered up only 3-4 yrs ago.
