I realise that I'm just a brand new service pilot(training for 6 years(holding for 2 1/2), but I don't see the benefits yet of flying for a commercial helo organisation. I love the flying (SAR) and the pay is not too bad. I realise that you get messed around a lot and that you don't really mean that much to company and all of the other problems associated with being in the forces, but I still feel that the job is fun and worthwhile.
