ATPL & IREX
Having them out of the way certainly cannot do you any harm.If you got the time to do it then don't dick around listening to blokes tell that you will never need it.Maybe you won't.But you might aswell put yourself at the front of the line.Sure there are people who get on to fly larger ships in this country without them,but no command! Head up to NT.you will meet 10,000hr mustering jockeys and yes even they have or are studying for the ATPL.Keep your options open.
As far as the future president goes Charlie,just make sure it goes to some body who does not own their own chopper business.Already to much self-interest in this industry.
