Sorry to disagree myskiheli,
As an ex-student of a training school i would be very disappointedif they gave out me personal details (phone number/email) to a prospective student.
I think it would be better advice to give the operations that take on new fresh pilots a call and ask them if you could speak to some of the newer pilots.
As an instructor i will never give out private information of ex-students.
I have to agree with what myskiheli says about the turbine/sling ratings, wait till you have more hours under your belt.
The H300 is a great trainer and they aren't becoming obsolete like people say, don't let people talk you into training on a R22 because its a lead in machine to the R44. I have seen many/trained many pilots in a H300 that have all gone on to bigger and better things in R44 with no problems at all.
If you only take one piece of advice then make it this one. Go and talk to as many training schools as possible and choose the one you feel most comfortable. You will not only be spending a lot of money at the school, but also a lot of time. So you want to be able to feel like you can come in and hang around and learn as much as you can.
