IR Costs

Hi

No posts here for nearly a year so seeking some up-to-date advice.

I'm soon-to-be-ex-military, a bit over 6000 hrs rotary, mostly SAR. I have a UK ATPL(H) and could probably renew my S61N rating the same way I got it on a Sea King.

The questions: To improve my employability, what's the best use of time and money - FI or IR or a type rating on something that will open a vfr job? What's the cheapest way to an IR (if Aunty Betty will let me, can it be done on a mil ac)?

I'm reading all the info and starting to ask around, but would appreciate good advice from those already in the business.

thanks

Sven
