so what do you think? 9000 hours jet capt with big orange airline thinking about giving it up to apply for FO job doing SAR for what I can only asume is an awful lot less money........

I never got the heli's out of the system

stay where I am (flying planks) or maybe go try something new.

constructive comments welcome

Lucky chap being able to choose.

Go do it.

And if you want to change back, then you've got the experience to go back to airlines again in the future.

What is life without measured risk and an element of change.

Can't you go 50% or 75% PT with bigOrange?

then do 50% or 25% (H)

best of both worlds?

Where will you (potentially) doing the FO job or does that give to much away? PM me if you like.

I think location has a lot to do with your decision!

Well, I don't know flying scotsman but I do know that there's an ad in this week's Flight International for Captains, co-joes and engineers at CHC's SAR operations at Waterford, Eire...

2 + 2 =...

No prizes then for guessing where Bond got their Jigsaw pilots from then!

Bit of a no brainer (no frontal lobotomy required) IMHO - give up tango and go red stripe.

How big is your mortgage, and can your SO work longer hours/earn more to pay it?
