If most helicopter pilot employers, such as EMS for example, required thousands of helicopter hours, i.e. 3000+ hours...and knowing the cost of each hour in a helicopter...how someone with a CPL(H) and some 100 hours or so of heli time get to 2 or 3 thousands hours?
CFI(H) positions seem to be extremely rare...as for every 30 fixed-wing flight schools there is one heli flight school....
so where di you pull the 3000 hours from to get that job flying a turbine heli with a reasonable pay?
In fixed-wing world, 9 out of 10 aspiring pilots will become CFIs and build anywhere from 1000 to 2000 hours before going for charter/corporate/regional jobs flying turbines...
seems in the heli world is even more hellish
