Pretty funny to see other than the company heads, the majority of heli expo attendees are wannabes with less than 500 hours trying to network. Most experienced Guys tend to avoid this mass gathering of egos and wannabes

It's a rip off. Cost way too much to attend. Besides all you need is a pulse to get hired these days. RTAG convention is a much better deal!

Guess I don't fit your narrative! I have been flying copters for 50+ years and have the Wright Brothers award! I enjoy going to HAI,  regardless of inflated cost, to see old friends and newest aircraft!

My personal favorite are those who go every year and it's all company paid. Lots of free parties and booze for the real networkers. The irony is letting RTAG have a presence and steal talent.  It's a great place to meet the alcoholics of the industry however.

As a guy who likes pretty girls and alcohol and who got his first civilian helicopter job a few years back because of contacts he met at the, I'm gonna have to respectfully disagree.

Is a company like PHI trying to recruit at an RTAG convention. 

Who needs the best pay, benefits, job security and quality of life when you can come fly a POS B407 or S76 in the GOM and live in a trailer park?
