Hi all - regarding the above comments and other comments throughout this thread, just wondering when people say to 'go fixed wing' are they generally referring to ATPL/flying for airlines?
It's never something that has appealed to me really, especially from conversations I've had with a good friend who is an airline pilot and is already looking to get out of it himself at 25. My sort of long term goal from flying rotary would be the diversity of the work (in theory), particularly possibilities to work as a bush pilot in Africa, Australia, Canada, USA etc.

Is going down the route of flying smaller fixed wing a viable career path? If so, how comparable are the training costs vs CPL(H)?
