Life after offshore...
Hello folks. I'm looking for a little advice to help me make the move from the offshore world to something a little drier.
I've worked on the Irish Sea for well over 10 years now. Very short sectors, 6 ldgs/takeoffs per hour, nearly 3800 hours, all weather, lots of night time etc. It's all good stuff, but having risen to the dizzy heights of SF/O, owing to a rather stagnant 'dead man's shoes' situation, I am in desperate need of a change to the onshore industry. For personal reasons I would also like to move a little further back down to the south.
My question really is, given that the only P1 and overland time I have was in an R22 during training for my licence, what is the best way to get onto the hard stuff? I would love to fly for the Police for example, but having sent a few CV's off in the past, without response, and knowing that they require P1 and overland experience, that's not going to happen just yet... So what is there for a chap in my position?
Any information or experience shared would be very much appreciated!
