How to become a PRO after 100h fly time
Dear Pros,
Do you have any ideas or your own expierence - how to become a PRO after obtaining the first 100h fly time in helicopters.
What was your way to the first job as helicopter pilot ?
Please share, I am looking for suggestions what to do more with my struggling 100h time and private licence for helicopters - to get first heli jobs/opportunities for time building.
Thanks for sharing !

Well first of all, well done so far.
If you have 'struggled' to get 100 hours, I would think very carfully about spending more money to fund a 'career' in helicopter flying. Poland may be different, but here in the UK you really need around 1000 hours to be searching for a paying helicopter pilot job and possibly a lot more on top of the relevant qualifications (CPL/IR/MULTI/TT/TR) unless your prepared to do low paid instucting.
Enjoy your flying but as for becoming a pro, now and in the nearer future it's a bit of a dream to be chased that can become a nightmare of debt and still no job.
