I posted recently elsewhere on pprune asking for advice as someone who, at fast approaching 40, is looking for a change of career.
I have a PPL (A) from a scholarship back in the early 80's and have decided that the world of commerce is no longer for me and want to move into professional flying, if at all possible.
Several people commented that the opportunities at my age with the likes of BA where probably negligible but several, including Clive Hughes terrific book, where more encouraging with the idea of smaller operators, freight organisations and instructing.
One thing that I hadn’t considered until now was rotary. So, do the same things apply to flying rotary professionally or is there greater or less scope? What are pay rates like compared to the fixed wing world? Is there anyone who has done what I am intending to do and is willing to share their experiences, either on this forum or via e-mail?
Thanks in advance, guys. ( and I include the girls in that!).
