the 135hrs would be for heli course as 'integrated' I believe. Check FCL regs.

Well, you're moaning if you should get funded airplane or heli training?
Not many 'Westerners' who get their CPL(H) funded.

True, most jobs would be as instructor, for which you need another 100+ hours helicopter time, in Europe, but you'd have your theory done, 'free training', etc.

Go to UK or Ireland and save up rest of cash. Most easy to get jobs are already taken by, ehrm, Polish, though.

On the other hand, it's relatively easier to get low time job in Poland as Polish national, from what I've read in other section of pprune. Starting out in heli industry is a pain in many countries. Not just time, money, effort, but then being licensed without job.
