Aris said a mouth full....and is close to the truth on most points.
Very few long time helicopter pilots brag about being so....and will in private express a desire they took up alternative employment way back when.
As for me....gone sailing!

"Every guy at the master's level of this so-called "profession" that I know who has a way out is taking it."
I hear you.
Over just the last three months at least three senior pilots have stated to me that if they could either sell their licence or type rating or find another non-flying job they would take it straight away.
Back to the thread - what about people who ask genuine questions as to the capabilities of a particular schoo/company. Since even a mention is free advertising does that qualify for the thread being pulled?
I can't say I'm bothered about videos and galleries. My provider is slow enough without adding all that to it.

Having been away a bit, i've come to this thread and become mystified, even though it started on a valid point. Maybe the lingo has become dummed down. as is follows;
beg pardon?
Well no, this is NOT one of my quotes!
Perhaps despite your previous quote of a self professed worldy knowledge on matter aviation, I humbly suggest that you refer to your daylight / darkness maps.
A better quote may have been to refer to a certain well known previous OZ PM who said, "life wasn't meant to be easy." Yair, and he found it out the hard way too.

I've run the place with Danny for 11 years now and the two parts of aviation that can't accept that this is where the pilots come voluntarily every day is rotary and Australians.
However even a dim fixed wing pair like me and Danny know helo people are taking the piss when there's been one ad on PPRuNe in 8 years and hundreds in mags no one even buys.
Nothing in life is black and white SASless.
