Hi!
I want to help you telling my story..so here i go buddy.
I have ATPL(H) with IR/ME, and a FI(H)
I have 3 type ratings that I prefer to not mention..but I can tell that one of the helicopters is a top class helicopter (MCTOM of 15600 kgs) and with the other two I would not be unemployed certainly (I thought I wouldnt)
Many SAR missions and many PIC/PICUS flight time for someone who has 2000 hours TT. Lots of night and IFR time.
I speak 4 languages fluently...and I`m 28 years old.
For a guy like you or me there are some problems:
we don`t have enough experience for captain...and to be hired for copilot...the companies prefer to hire a 200 TT NATIONAL co-pilot...with his mind fresh and new.
This is my opinion...and I would be satisfied to be wrong!
