consider a PPL(H), do your 12 hours a year
...er, I thought it was two per type and an LPC?

Did you do integrated or modular? Some of us would be interested in your tales of woe since it is a path quite a few here are considering. Were your expectations too high? Or were you lead to believe that you would have work after qualification by your flight school? Did you train in a different country? Can you accept part-time work. Are you prepared to move around the country/globe?

Please tell us more and perhaps what you might have done differently. From my reading of past posts:-

1. Have a fall-back position; another job/income on which you can rely.
2. Don't get into debt for your training.

If you followed the above, then hopefully you just maintain your hours, I am sure the rotary job market will pick up but could be a few years off.

But, please don't get bitter.

Cheers
