Mr astar,
If you dress up in a rubber suit over there I hear that the money is pretty damn good, compared to over here.
The price of an oil barrel is the same basically around the world, but of course the lifestyle that a helicopter pilot can expect varies from country to country, or company to company.
The oil companies (who still make billions) love this bit of weakness, and so astar, keep a funny suit on in Scandanavia and think yourself lucky that your country has helicopter companies that looked after professional helicopter pilots.
Of course, as you say, you may want to get out of it all and go plank-wing, and there my friend I can't help you.
