Thanks for all the comments guys.

I have 700 total and about 450 on type with 19 months left to go.

In that time I expect to fly another 100 hours or so, leaving me at 800 total.

The plan then is to use the Army resettlement to get my CPL(H) and do licenses for a frozen ATPL(H).

I was hoping that I could work weekends to build hours but mainly to provide an income for my next degree assuming I get accepted on the course.

Aeromed is not something that is exclusive - I would fly any job really and have heard of civilians with 200 hrs R-22 getting reasonable jobs - not beating on civilians or R-22s but I would venture that the military and the types are more challenging, especially on Ops. To that end I thought the market for EMS, police or charter might be quite good? Perhaps not....

I would be available most weekends if not all and am wondering how best to advertise my abilities. It seems a shame that after 5 years in the military I would not be able to use my flying experience to my advantage.

I appreciate all the input you guys have given me and will continue to research though it does seem a bit unlikely that I will be able to do what I had hoped to.

regards,

M
