On a serious note, I’m not. Although the aspiration is now that I’m finally earning a really good amount of money I can accelerate my savings significantly and start training. Ultimate aspiration being SAR. Anything that means I’m ‘home’ each day is where I’m looking. HEMS, NPAS, offshore are all appealing.
Money is not the driving factor as I appreciate the majority of jobs won’t match the £71K for 35 hours over 4 days(actually at work more like 25-30 hours and do even less of that actually ‘working’), very good pension, very good conditions job I have.
I just want to fly helicopters and be able to go home at the end of the shift.
it’s just nice to know what conditions are like for jobs in the heli flying industry.
If i had to guess based off similar things in the railway then I’d say something to do with training or examination.
Thank you, Appreciate the info a lot
