5yrs ago if you had told me that I would be back on a B47 .....(insert 4 letter word).
5yrs from now. Tiltrotor driver. Probably on offshore but SAR/EMS would be lovely thanks. Got to be the best of both worlds. 350kt VNE....yeehaa.
Lets face it team, if we all wanted to fly above the clouds for 12 hrs where the weather is lovely and you get fat on **** food and sugar drinks while the autopilot flys you to the ILS and then lands for you; then I am sure that we could all have a frontal lobotamy and talk Cathay Pacific interview technique tomorrow.
Frankly, money is great but job satisfaction is VERY important. I actually enjoy being IFR with seastate 5 and 70kts+. This is demanding and a great challenge. Vertical out of 250ft timber at max. AUW & PWR avail. is also interesting and night helo work is just a buzz. Need more be said.
I have to go ring Mr Calder now.....
CHC I wannabe.
