Go airline, for now!

I was considering NS after a friend in Stavanger recommended me to switch.
This was sometime around 2002. I should have looked into it then, but now I am happy I did not switch.

Mind you I am stuck in a rather monotones " shuttle".

I would recommend to go to Your Airline of choice and make a deal.
I would be absolutely delighted to have any of you rotorheads in the rightseat for a few hundred hrs until Cpt upgrade.

We need pilots that can fly, so go for it.
I think a transition from Heli to Fixedwing is a easy, the other way , not so much.
Lots to learn of course , for example we sometimes land at 150kts.
Mind u the "pad" usually is rather long.
Good luck to all.

Oh , almost forgot: We also have Trolly Dollys!
