All the above is good advice, but.......

You have to do what you want. I thought a very long time ago that all I wanted to do was fly 104's but when I was half way through my training, the CF cancelled the pipeline program to 104's and opened the F-18 pipeline.

Not being a whimp, I definately didn't want to fly a girlyman aircraft like the F-18 so I went SeaKings (S-61A) and have never looked back.

Since then, I have flown 206, 205, 500, 117, 76, 61N and now take home 90-100K per anum. That's TAKE HOME.

You can go with the flow and fly siezed wing, but fling wing is the way to go. You won't regret it. It just takes time.

If you want the medium bucks now, go siezed, if you want a truly rewarding carreer with potential, go flingwing.

Cheers, OffshoreIgor
