Rotordog, I understand you getting pi**ed off with youngsters posting on rotorheads with questions like "Is it worth it" or what would you do in my situation" but I also think these newbies should be cut a little slack. Unfortunatley the wannabes forum is all about fixed wing training and rotorheads is the only one to deal with helicopters, so where else are they supposed to go? Some people joining for the first time dont even know there's a search function on pprune. If you dont want to read their questions, don't click on them.
Helidecks, as heliport say's click on the search link and type in what sort of information your looking for. There have been loads on helo wannabes asking these sorts of questions and some of your questions could be answered there.
Don't be put off, were a nicer bunch than them plank drivers, honest!!!
