Good morning,
spinwing is right.
Go for the 412. If you let that opportunity slip it might not come back.
Someone else will have taken that job AND keep it.
It is always easier to find a job in an R44 than a twin turbine because there are many more out there.
You could even pay for the type rating yourself which is kind of tough with the 412...or should I say next to impossible.
I didn't get into fire fighting because companies always asked for rated pilots.
You seem to be lucky, so don't push it.
