Hi all,
Have recently been looking to a career as a helicopter pilot, I have no flying experience. It is so expensive in the UK so some one reccomeded Bristow in the US. It seems to be a lot cheaper, and employment after completion seems to have better chances.
As well as this, I am aware that the helicopter industry at the moment is such a hard one to break into, however I would be looking to qualify in about 2.5 - 3 years. I know it is such an open ended question but do you think the employment oppurtunities will be better in 3 years time?
Lastly, has anyone been to Bristow? I want to know how people pay for the course and afford to live as well (I.E. Pay bills, eat etc) as you are working full time. Any one got any tips or advice reguarding this career path and where to go and train.
Thank you!
