Leee: we can't have you wandering off...sulking now can we
Generally (and I used that word carefully):
Charter helo work: 1000+ for small company (perhaps even less for mickey mouse outfits).
Corporate: 2000+ and IR + twin+ night.
Emergency services (Uk that means only EMS/police): 2000+ twin time + night and bolt on bits occasionally such as previous experience, mil flying etc. Not compulsory, but an unwritten rule.
Flying training: 300+ depending on type of training.
Agri: not sure, but <1000.
Powerline: 1500+
Offshore: 1500+IR+twin+night (probably >2000 for captain)
Basically, to tap into the reasonably well paid end of the spectrum, you really do need a JAR CPL (IR), ATPL(H)IR.
There is no "hiring season" for a long term pilot. If you want seasonal jobs then obviously that speaks for itself.
Fly safely
