... when you do qualify you'll be at the bottom of a very crowded ladder...
Guys, I'm confused.

When I embarked on my training just over a year ago, I was told there was a SHORTAGE of helicopter pilots and instructors. Bizarrely, perhaps, I actually WANT to be an instructor. No North Sea for me, thanks.

I am well down the road -- £63k down the road, in fact, after notching up a JAA CPL(H), three type ratings and attending the Robinson factory course. I'm about to lay out another 10 big ones on my FI ticket.

Will there or will there not be a job at the end of it???
