Helilog56 Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 HeliCanada...I actually am very disappointed you feel that way about the path you chose. I also have been flying close to 40 years now, and plan on continuing with much love with what I do....when asked , "if given the chance, would you do it all over again", the smile on my face says it all......cheers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwingWing Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 $65000 is the cost of a new diesel pickup, people buy those everyday. You spend that and end up getting paid ( albeit ******) to fly a helicopter= pretty sweet. As for long term career, not a chance. Sorry not a f...ing chance industry is so behind the times these days, probably because you old timers " didn't have it that good" so why should we. As for original question, one good season in the patch ( not working with helicopters) would have her paid off:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helicopterjim Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 probably because you old timers " didn't have it that good" so why should we. Hahahahahaha ...... that is too effing funny!! I never had it any better and I don't see what's changed except everyone gets internet and cell coverage everywhere. Best effing times of my life .... out there tear assing around the shite ... having the time of my life. I understand that if you don't like it then for sure you shouldn't be here ..... but for the rest of us ..... we haven't worked a day in our lives!!!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R0T0R Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 I agree jimmy. If I was here to make money I wouldn't have sat next to you all those years ago puking in TWZ. 17,000 a year sucked but the Crown sure went down.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
