Hi
I have a question that some of you more experienced twin pilots may answer..
Now 52 years old, been flying commercially for last 10 years with ICAO CPL(H). mainly on Turbine single. Now in Offshore, S76c, managed to get P2 600 hours twin time with IR. TT is 3000...
To wait for P1 on S76C, would take another 2 years with no guarantee as I am employed on contract, and Nationals are ahead of me waiting in line for the next P1 vacancies; it also implies I would have to sit my local ATPL
I have the opportunity to convert to AS332, again as P2; it means another 2-5 years before I can even be assessed as suitable for P1
So my question lies with my age... should I stay as P2 ( had enough Command time on single) and enjoy myself until I retire, or go through the studies/expenses again to get the ATPL, and wait in line for a possible P1 slot??? I am based in the Southern part of the world btw
Cheers
