Cheers guys (n gals...?)
I do have question for all the career aviators who have generously responded to my request, are you presently employed, despite the 9/11 aftermath have you ever been out of work for long periods of time? Do you find yourself having to travel all over the world to get contract work in deserts and offshore facilities?
Basically if you are not law enforcement, ems, mil or fi what are you doing in a helicopter to pay the bills and feed the kids ?
