Quit trying to skip the line. Married? Kids? Forget about it. There are 15 other single and flexible pilots willing to be away from home and go the distance to get their hand in the cookie jar. Experience isn't bought.

P-rostrate, S-ecific, A-ntigen.

 

You'll learn about that as you get older.

You need at least 1000 hours not even flying with a student sitting next to you, and then at least another 1000 more hours flying straight and level in the Gulf of Mexico before you're experienced enoguh to fly an EMS bird straight and level for a hospital transfer.

Time to go back to the nursing home gramps. Young kids arent lining up to fly your helicopters anymore. Just ask anyone in HR , there isn't stacks of resumes coming in .

 In 30 years I can say I've seen more pilots quit flying when children came along than any other cause. I can also say that pay goes up in the wire trade every year. There's less and less pilots skilled enough AND willing to be gone from home weeks at a time.

there is zero percent chance a 250 hour CFI doesn’t know how the helicopter job market works and understands moving will most likely be something that will happen in the future.

either the job requires you to move or it doesn't. doesn't matter if you're single or have 20 kids.

Doesn't matter? Yea so a husband leaving his 2 kids for 1/2 a year at a time and not watching them grow up or anyhting is the same as being single and being able to just move and do whatever with no family tie downs.
