Now there's a genius....dissing a national news outlet t.that was assisting in improving the pay of helicopter pilots.
I would think you would be applauding that help that was affording fellow helicopter pilots by exposing the situation on the national airways and internet.
Perhaps you might just sit on the Curbside and watch the parade go by.
Robbiee,
Anyway, they want at least 1,500 hours just to be a maintenance ferry pilot, so they're not making it easy for a guy to even get in at a lower level and work his way up.
Ferry flights can be done at night and IFR.....that might have an influence upon that requirement along with Insurance Provider requirements and other factors.
Yes....it gets darned dark in a lot of the country away from the big cities and suburbs where there is no shortage of surface lighting.
