OK, I was expecting that statement as the first line - although I was hoping for a more informative answer.
I cannot believe people self fund to over 1000 hours, pay for an IR and turbine ratings etc. Either all heli pilots are ex forces, lottery winners or come from very rich families.
So, what happens after a CPL(H) in the life of a professional heli pilot, and how do you get there?
Does everyone get their CPL(H), go to 300 hours, get an intructors ticket then spend years teaching those looking at the profession - with the knowledge that they may as well not bother.
Is it the case that the industry is that bad there is no requirement for new people to train?
