Is an OML on your medical worse in rotor than in FW?
Given the nature of many helicopter jobs, is an OML (Operational Multi-Crew Limitation) a bigger problem for RW prospects than it is in the FW world? The RW culture often seems more pragmatic, which is probably a good thing, but jobs are fewer, and your career will usually involve some years of instructing (i.e. being the only fully qualified pilot in the aircraft).
If any of you guys have been there, how is life as a restricted RW pilot? Is it a big factor, having your career scrutinized every year, do you feel very limited in the industry?
