Copter Cody,
As i understand in one of your other posts, you have not left high school, and want to start flying helos when you leave. Good luck to you. However, to say you are trying to help a fellow chopper pilot is misleading, wouldn't you agree?
I agree with Pac Rotors, and others, you have absolutely no idea about the helicopter industry and how it is driven by insurance costs. Long Lining is one of the most demanding and dangerous jobs a helo pilot can have, their pay does reflect that, but so it should, they are production pilots. Production pilots make money by high production, there is very little room for low time people, and by low time I mean low logging time. Don't pretend to be someone you're not. Hope your relative at Columbia can get you a job, by the way, you need a spellchecker.
