need advice to start?
 
I am a total newbee in helicopter...

so you can give me some advice on what I want.

I want: a good pay salary as a commercial pilot, preferably on a twin turbine.
I want a job right away after my training and a good pay, I dont want instruct for free or peanuts!.
i want security , so i can build a family, and maybe buy a house...


is that possible? or should I look somewhere else?

dartagnan,

That one's priceless - let me write it down in my little book cos i'm !!!! at remembering jokes. You don't know any good ones for a best mans speech by any chance do you?

Dartagnan, as you're not a newbie to the aviation world or to pprune, may I suggest you have a look at some past threads on Rotorheads - they may help you find the answer (if the posts above haven't already given you an inkling).

On the whole, you will find that helicopter jobs pay less than fixed wing (like for like) so you may be better off sticking to your ATPL(A).

Cheers

Was just passing through and this got my attention!

Send him over to Jet Blast....we'll have loads of advice and TLC for him there!

:confused: :ugh: :D

You just made my day. Are sure you're talking about helicopter pilot? It must be a practical joke. I know now you are Peter Kay!

With 150 odd posts I somehow dont think you are entirely serious!!:rolleyes:

However, if you are, here is the answer:

Spend loadsamoney to Qualify on twin helis with an IR, buy yourself an Augusta 109, S71 or maybe a nice big Mil - These are so much fun and I believe you can get some free rockets with certain models (although terms and conditions apply)

After that employ yourself in your own large PLC as Chief Pilot, that's 6 Bars (of chocolate per day) and voila!

After a while you could negotiate with yourself for a pay rise, argue, fall-out, ballot your member (oo er!:ooh: ) and threaten to strike, which means you wouldnt be able to fly yourself home that night to your large mansion in La La land!

Oh No! I've broken the HeliMagic Circle's most sacred law and told you what all rotary pilots really do - sorry folks, I'll go and get my coat.:oh:

Mmmmm, peanuts...

I know of position available
 
D.

I know of guy looking for fresh CPL(H) to fly his 2 nympho daughters around in his new S76. He doesn't want guy with much hours cause he thinks they're lazy. He'll cover cost of your IR ticket, to be done in the S76. Comes with free house (with indoor pool) and use of selection of high end motors. Last guy got sacked for being cuaght in bed with the 2 daughters :ugh: . Pay starts at £120k sterling, with overtime for weekends. 3 months/year spent flying from his yaght in the Med'. don't know if that'll suit?

I resent that - there was only one in the bed at the time, the other was sat in the corner peeling some grapes waiting for her turn.

The tribunal is still ongoing - I thought he should have knocked :}

PS I was great

Got your 6 on this one Minty Fresh.

If you both started at the same time it's not your problem she can't keep up.
