"Or wait until things pick up and once there are jobs again you should be able to take your pick of onshore jobs even without overland VFR experience."

Can't remember who posted this gem! I doubt this has ever been the case!

Good onshore jobs really go by word of mouth and knowing people. Forget sending CVs, take them personally and talk to the Chief Pilots of the onshore companies. Visit the Police Air Support Units. There may be some scope for co-piloting with an onshore corporate outfit if you have the right type.

You'll have to relearn how to navigate, and how to be nice to passengers!..and carry their bags.

It is a major culture shift anyway, for less money.
