I've been lucky so far. Dads a pilot so I grew up in helicopters. I saw many 100hr pilots struggling to find their way over the years. I was prepared for the worst leaving flight school, but I managed to find a job right away and ended up flying 400 hours in jetrangers the last couple years. I worked hard but I was also very fortunate. As a 500 hr pilot I'm a long way from the experience I need and the economy is making the heli industry in Canada a pretty tight ship but I'm still optimistic.
