Job prospects in the U.S.
I realize this forum is based in the UK, but I am interested in job prospects for an American helicopter pilot (both in the U.S. and abroad). The Bristow school here in Northern California is run by guys who all intend to return to Europe. Supposedly there is a 1000-hour ceiling, but as far as I can tell it varies widely by the job, but how many people have an opportunity to build hours as a fresh CFI? Also, the fixed wing rating costs far less initially but seems to have more limbo afterwards. Anyway, some serious guidance would be helpful...especially from someone who has done some serious job hunting here in the U.S. If anyone still looks at this thread...
BTW, Florida is weak...If you're going to come to the U.S. and blow your budget on flight school, you should consider how much nicer California is. I think Bristow is totally booked in Florida anyway...not so here
