Spot on Bravo73, IMO this is one of the key elements, its the willingness to go where ever the work is (certainly with your hours and when trying to get a first "civvy" job) and being flexible with hours, holiday, salary ... etc etc will undoubtebly help.
As someone once said "get on your bike" and get out to see the folk that can help you get started in this industry, solely sending out CVs is only adding to the tens of similar CVs these helicopter operators see each week, it'll be what makes you stand out that gets you a job.
Good luck
