How is it to work for companies like Erickson or croman or such as a copilot? Is there any opportunity to move to the left seat? |

Most if not all type 1 and 2 helicopters on fires are flown with the PIC in the left seat. |

Erickson has a PIC upgrade program in place. That said, you're going to need more than 1,000 little ol hours to climb that ladder. Prior heavy time, lots of multi engine, or even lots of prior utility experience on hand and they'll get you into the left seat, but you may be an SiC for one season, or two, or three. Maybe more if you're a worthless pilot.
Croman doesn't have a PiC upgrade program. You come to them with lots of time in the above, otherwise you will be an SIC for life in their aircraft. |

Croman does have a PIC program, but unless you're a surgeon with a long line, you don't stand a chance.... |

though the PIC may customarily sit the left seat but certainly possible. Never did that kind of work. |
