fixed Vs Rotory.

The offshore pilots for companies like Bond, Bristow, CHC seem to have an alright deal (perhaps not so if you look at the CHC thread in rotorheads).

I believe most are on an equal time roster, entry level co-pilot salaries are around the £40k mark. Not to forget the awesome hardware you get your hands on ...... AS332L, AS332L2, EC225, S92.

Correct me if I am wrong (as I have never done it) but is landing on a vessel at night that is heaving, rolling and pitching on the limits not up there as one of the most challenging parts of line flying a pilot can encounter.

Sounds like a truly challenging and rewarding job!

........ then of course it will cost you circa £100k to get there!!
