Hi DirtyB,
If you go to this link
So you want to become a helicopter pilot....... . It's also a sticky at the top of the rotorheads forum. Pretty much everything you'd need to know is in there. If you have more questions after reading that, then by all means ask away.
But for a short answer to your question, your first job as a helicopter pilot will more than likely be as a flight instructor until you get yourself about a thousand or twelve hundred hours under your belt. That takes about 1
1/2 to 2 years after qualifing as a flight instructor. Then you can move on to a job that lets you do 14 and 14, flying to oil rigs in the Gulf Of Mexico(GOM) or something like that.
P.S: Welcome to Rotorheads, and I love your choice of screen name!!!
