Came to the USA for civilian helicopter flight school. Paid for and became a CFII/H in 215 hours. Two years as a CFI in Robinsons and then got a green card. AT 1500hrs became a co-pilot for CHI in the Vertol. Then tours at Grand Canyon, and got ATP. Next offshore in the GOM as co-pilot in B412 to get some IFR experience.


EMSing for 20 years and salary around 110k but usually closer to 130k with OT. Exactly where I planned to be 25 years ago, and very happy with career choice.


Now no debt and a millionaire+, because of maxing out 401K. May retire at 60 but maybe not. This HAA gig is fun, and something I start to miss after about 5 days off.
