For example in Italia the amount of helicopters doubled in 2 years’ time.
Where did you get that data from??????????????????????????????
Helicopter companies in Italy are struggling to survive!!!!!!!
I know pilots with 1000 hours helicopter time single engine turbine experience (like me) who can't find a job in Italy, that why many of us have gone abroad.
How I see it is: if there is a will there is a way! but it's VERY difficult and you must start off by leaving Europe and going to the US for as much time as you can get to stay there.
