Hi, I am not sure if this has been discussed before. I have done searches but cannot find as much information as I want. I am currently thinking of getting my commercial Helicopter licence so I want to know as much as possible before I get into it, mainly the lifestyle. I know it depends on the job but I just want to get somewhat of an idea. What are the working schedules like? Where do you live? In a camp, tent, hotel? What is the pay like? Can my girlfriend come with me to where I am working? How many hours do you need to get into fighting forest fires? How many hours do you fly a day? Does anyone know how many people company's like great slave helicopters or canadian helicopters take a year for training? I want to do my training at a company that hires from there students, is it hard to get into these courses or do they take anyone willing to pay? I think that is it, thank you for any replys. Dustin
