So when you complete your CPL(H) you end up with around 150 hrs.
How many job adverts have you come across that are looking for an experienced pilot with a 150 hrs or so!!
So how are you going to fill the gap between 150 hrs and let say between 500-1000 hrs when some employers consider you somewhat employable.
Some might tell you (who have all the right connections)it won't be problem.
Some who have been in the forces might say the same, as they end up with enough hrs when they come out.
Some will tell you to get a fixed wing licence as it pays better if your in it for the money.
Some will tell you what I told you before, that it is going to be a long road.
If rotary flying is what you really want to do, then you have to be prepared to sit it out get all the qualifications you possibly can get and the hope you get to be in the right place at the right time.
And don't forget you have to have supporting and understanding people (ie family- wife etc.) around you to do that as well.
Safe flying
