Best country to start career

Mmmm think maybe venturing up 'north' to Washington state doesn't really count on knowing the Canuck helicopter industry very well. We do fly all year round you know, in fact winter is the best time for certain ops. I certainly don't have time to do other things. Most of my time is spent flying....As for summer not being freezing at lower latitudes, well it's early spring here, I was in Alert yesterday N82 50 latitude doesn't get much higher in lat than that.....was -5c sitting on top a 6000ft mountain, positively balmy......
I don't have stats for other companies, but the one I work for positively encourages low timers. I have seen quite a few come through the doors. I don't understand why you think it would be the last place to give a freshly minted CPL a go, with the right training and oversight the ones we have put in the seat do ok.
Flying in extreme remote places is what the helicopter is all about, n'est-il pas.
