Is this a totally weird idea?
Hey there. 
I need some advice. I have finally reached a point where my small business (construction) allows me to go for my old dream of flying helicopters.
Had a couple trial-lessons and I know for sure that I´m hooked.
I will spend summer working on my rotor-PPL.
But I can´t help being curious about my further options. Starting off at 31, I know I´m probably not really eligible for the full-fledged pro market, but what if I still want to take it a little further than just a R22?
Are there "summer-jobs" or other short-term/part-time opportunities for helicopter pilots? My business provides a decent living on 2 to 3 projects a year, so I can usually take couple months off every year.
Or would I ultimately have to choose between my business and flying commercially?
Another question is: IF it can be done, WHERE can it be done? Germany is a lousy place to be for a heli-pilot, unless youre a 2000+ hour ex-military driver. Any place that offers opportunities? Especially considering legal status, work permit asf.
Thanks for reading this - hoping for many honest answers.
