RemoteHook,

Having also "crossed and recrossed the great divide" a number of times I can fully relate to that view.

Flying fixed wing is generally where you have f*** all to do and someone to help you do it. Rotary wing is where you have it all to do and NO-ONE to help you do it.

The fixed wing flying job usually ends at the destination. The rotary wing job usually BEGINS at the destination.
