GET REAL YOU GUYS!
My company got ride of most of their experienced Captains, to be replaced, eventually, by young people who had paid for their own licence or had parents who could help.
The reason is simply inexperienced means cheap.great for the people who got or are getting jobs on the North Sea but when the next downturn comes bye bye.
For the industry, everyone now knows this and either don't care because they are not intending to stay that long, or belatedly have the message and are probably looking to fixed wing.
That is not all green grass but at least the market is much larger and the prospects better.
Sure become a helicopter pilot but keep your options open.
