I am humbled every time I go to work.

At my company we have 16 pilots with an average level of helicopter flight experience of 10,500 hours. We have one pilot at 25k one at 23k one at 21k one at 17k and one at 15k. most of the rest of our pilots are in the are in the 4k-9k range. Only one is below 4k and hes at 2800

And as for type, one has 16k on type a and one has 12k on type (500's). The average time on 500s is 4k across the company. 500's are all we operate.

Thew more striking statistics are an average level of external load experience of 6,200 hours, and average powerline construction experience of 3200 hours!

And that is not to mention, we had pilots of 24k, 23k, 17k and 14k helicopter experience retire in the past few years!
