Need some advice
Okay, here's my deal.
I'm a 5000+ hour fixed-wing ATP and CFI with plenty of turbine/multiengine time. 37 years old. U.S. citizen. Could get a cushy jet job somewhere, settle in and wait for retirement, old age, decrepitude and death. Or I could mortgage the farm, get my helicopter ratings and go off and do....well.....whatever it is that dual-rated pilots do.
So, what're your recommendations? Choose one.
1. Sober up and go for the jet gig 'cuz I'm in for a long, uphill fight to get a job well-paid enough to justify the extraordinary expense of rotary ratings.
2. Go for it! There is a strong demand for helicopter pilots - especially ones who can go both ways....er....fly fixed-wing, too.
Any input would be greatly appreciated
