Wow, there seem to be a few people here with some axes to grind, I wonder why. Maybe disgruntled ex-employees...
I have some friends working the helicopter side of things, and while it may not be a perfect job, they seem pretty happy with things, and have been there for a long time. This despite the earlier post claiming low morale and high turnover. Sure there's some politics, some things that might not be ideal, but show me the perfect job in this industry, and I'll show a queue of people waiting for the incumbent to die.
I hope that the new airline takes off (excuse the pun), and provides a break in the industry for a whole bunch of people. Good luck to all involved.
