I worked in the city as well until the flying bug became incurable,
20 years later I don't regret the move, but I will never again have the lifestyle I enjoyed. Stay where you are, fly for fun and make the rest of us jealous. Believe me, Trying to tell the pax that you can't land at their house due to the fog, staying away from the ice at this time of year and surviving the half wits who think a helicopter can land anywhere despite your explanations about rules, performance and fuel just becomes plain hard work. I often wonder why we accept such low status and pay when we are very much the exposed part of aviation.
