I had a fixed wing PPL. I'd never flown a helicopter in my life before.
I was CPL(H) with less than 100 hrs. rotary. there aren't many who get their PPL/CPL/CFI done in 5.5 months and certainly not at HAI. It took me 5.5 months because I had to wait 3 weeks before I could start the flying for my CFI, after being in CFI groundschool for 3 weeks.

You really have to push it when you want to do it fast, and there (where) people within HAI who didn't like that at all. But you're only there for yourself, the sooner you're ready the sooner you can start working. (I hate the word hour building, when you're a CPL/CFI you're just working and gaining experience)

Where are you doing your training, and what did you achieve sofar? I remember you asking the same sort of questions as dogpaddy about a year ago.
