another boring request for info

OK I apologise in advance, I am looking for a rotary training school in BC, quality more important than cost, commercial ties/outlook more important than 'make the student feel good about themselves' instructors, I am looking to make it a career, and so want to be told if I'm cr*p and have no aptitude so I do'nt waste my money and time. Okanagan mountain, and PHS look to be good outfits, has anybody had good/bad dealings with either, or any others in the vicinity. Thanks.

Wanna be a roterhead...

Do you have a fixed wing ticket yet? Why do you want to have a big black cloud over your head for (the rest of) your career?
Good luck.

no fixed wing ticket, do I take it to mean rotary opportunities are worse than for fixed wing

Try Valley Helicopters in either Merritt or Hope. I understand the fellow in Merritt is exceptional, but also heard he may have recently medicalled out. Good luck.

I know that there are quite a few Canucks at the "Rotorhead" forum here, might be a better place to ask the question.
