WHY BOTHER WITH CPL(H) GO THE CPL (A) AND THEN ATPL(A). IT EVENTUALLY PAYS MUCH MORE MONEY....
I HAVE BEEN IN THE GAME FOR 20+ YEARS AND IT IS A HARD SLOGG TO THE TOP....
THE ONLY THING I HAVE LEARNT OVER THE YEARS IS......THE BIGGER THE COMPANY YOU WORK FOR, THE BIGGER THE BULL S..T YOU HAVE TO PUT UP WITH.
BUT IF YOU HAVE YOUR HEART SET ON BEING A HELI DRIVER, GIVE CHOPPER LINE A RING IN CALOUNDRA, QLD. GOOD INSTRUCTORS THAT KNOW HOW TO INSTRUCT AND HAVE BEEN AROUND THE TRAPS AND HAVE PLENTY OF HOURS TO BACK THEM UP...
I DID A NIGHT VFR ENDORSEMENT WITH THEM 6/7 YEARS AGO.
GOOD CLIMATE, NEAR THE BEACH, NIGHT LIFE ETC AND THE ACCOMADATION IS GOOD.....
THEY HAVE STUDENTS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD......THAT HAS TO SAY SOMETHING...
ASK FOR TUB MATHESON OR KEN AMOS(INSTRUCTORS) AND TALK TO THEM
GOOD LUCK
