Ask any self funded helicopter pilot flying the NS if he/she would do it again....NO. Even with the downturn in fixed wing its a better place to be. Oil and gas is a dying industry.....
I would do it all over again
Yep I'd do it all again too, so neebother isn't speaking for everyone
Great roster. Great pay. Interesting challenging role. Better standard of living for many than some of my friends in fixed wing
I think there is an assumption that everyone in fixed wing works for BA at a nice airfield that they can afford to live next to. Certainly not always the case. Not all pilots get the big jobs and those that do have mixed experiences of how good or bad it is.
Rotary offers a range of different roles, so if North Sea isn't your thing, at least you should be able to find something that floats your boat.

Depending on your age: Join the military and fly there…. Much more interesting flying, free training, friends for life and then do a transition to civil live in 10-15 years when they make you fly a desk. 👍
The salary will be as low as the operators contrive it to be. There is a very effective cartel in operation and passively condoned by the regulator. Engineers pay even worse - it's shameful but I guess you get what you pay for.....
Can I have some of what you've been smoking please? It's obviously some pretty heavy stuff, and I am in need of having my grasp on reality as loose as yours obviously is.
