Only coming from my opinion, a suggest you do most of your time on the most affordable machine(300cbi or r22) then keep yourself a good 10 hrs to convert on a turbine.

most of they operators don't run r44 and if they, you will represent a low cost for them to convert you. remember, when your course is finished, and if you find a job, you will probably not fly at all till the year after, so the only thing that count for ya is to get the license, not the rating.

good luck

A lot of operators use them in the oil and gas industry. I don't really know why you would leave any experience off a resume...

There are lots of operators that use R44's in the west.My first job flying was in one so i would say if you an afford it definately go for it.It wont hurt and its better than just having the R22 on your license.
