helicopterjim 285 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 I always laugh at the way we get paid, Me too! They pay me this much money to have this much fun? Thank god I'm not driving a bus out to some oil rig or something like that! At least with VFR you get the visual part (I,m sure the helicopter filming the animals in Africa isn't IFR). Bring on more IFR so that the rest of us can have more fun! By the way ... I did truly make an offer to trade my restaurant but they didn't go for it! 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
R22Captain 35 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Getting kind of back on topic, didn't "New" Canadian buy into or buy some company Down Under that was into off shore? Following big brother?... https://www.chlcrewsupport.com/Files_PressReleases/Press_ReleaseNamechange-EN-April172012.pdf Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bring on more IFR so that the rest of us can have more fun! By the way ... I did truly make an offer to trade my restaurant but they didn't go for it! Looking back on my post I see I was not clear. What I meant was if you want to remain an employee of the VIHAviation Group and you are a professional pilot then you need to think about getting an instrument ticket. I know many guys who have been there for a long time. A few for their entire working career. They are VIH to the bone and the idea of working for someone else will be hard. I,m not sure that VIH Helicopters is totally out of the VFR game right now but I think they will be soon. No disrespect intended for my VFR brothers and sisters. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
