Working in Greece

There will be a lot of restrctions and limitations even after the most strict and severe rules/ restrictions within countries will be loosened up. Also people won't have big money to blow on intercontinental travel and luxury vacations with helicopters. People will also be scared to travel and also lot's of people will stay home to help their domestic tourism back onto it's feet.

Also without an EASA ticket you can erase the whole of Europe and it's overseas territories (in the Carribean and also in the Indian Ocean) from your dreams

On the other hand I have seen job ads for gigs on yachts and boats for 1 -3 months in the last years, FAA licence necessary, but those ads were rare and very few in total.
​​​​​​Where were you working in Greece? I have an old Euro CPL(H) but not looking to fly (59 years old, let be realistic) but looking for ops or ground crew. Got a fair bit of experience in those areas with Lothian Helicopters and Adventure 001. Realise it would be 2021 now
