Helicopter Academy is offering a ab initio -> CPL(H) with CFI (What's this? Commercial flight instructor?) course that will get you employed at Bristow for $65,000. Currently, the dollar is strong, but hopefully it'll change.
I don't think the contingent waiting list will be a problem, as I finnish my current studies the 12th of june this year. That gives me some time to get the money, and kill some of the huge waiting, if there is such. Might have a contact that'll help me.
Why do I have to certificate myself where I would like to fly? Both of my pilot friends went to an American school, and one of them is working in Sweden, with sea rescue. The other one is currently unemployed, but he worked in Greenland, and he has worked in other places as well, think it was somewhere near Colombia.
That kind of contend to youre statement. On what ground are you saying that?
(Note: I'm not being offensive, rather grateful, I just want things really clear)
I don't know where I want to work yet. I have no preferences as it is now. All I want to do is to become a pilot, when I'm a pilot I want to pay my debts, and earn some hours. THEN I'll consider where I
want to work. I take nothing for granted. I expect the worst conditions ever imaginable as for a start of my carreer.
There is no way for me to tell where I want to work this early. I tried, but I can not.
However, this $65,000 course seems to be my best alternative right now.
This is a part of the mail I recieved from Tom McDermott, the manager of Helicopter Academy.

I'll be contacting the school my friends went to. They strongly recommend it. I'll get in touch.
