Consider this little tidbit. What are the high timers doing. After years of picking S
with the chickens they have set themselves up to work for company after company. Many have no retirement or money set aside to do so.
Yes a few have good jobs and with their times can be hired with companies that pay well and have benefits. I think though, you will find that the majority of Helicopter Pilots at the upper end have to fly till they die as they have no solid future. Where did it start? Allowing companies to use you like a whore when you were low time.
Lets hear the flak from that...........
