Is the hiring team or budget wizards down there smoking meth? I guess the hurt feelings cops don't want helicopter pilots to make more money than those who drive a patrol car. |

The will be a military pilot with a pension who will take that job. Military helicopter pilots have been keeping the wage down in the industry since the Vietnam Era. While our fixed wing brothers have gone on to use there experience to push up wages and conditions. Please know your worth, you have great skills, many combat deployments. Don't sell yourself short. |

Army helicopter pilots are and were always just rednecks who couldn't cut it in any other aviation capacity. it's shouldn't surprise anyone of their mediocrity in accepting low wages. Helicopter pilots really are just losers. Truth hurts. |

I'm just wondering how you factor that there are a pretty significant number of commercial FW pilots who are also retired military pilots into that logic? I mean, if "retired" military helicopter pilots are keeping wages suppressed in the helicopter industry, how come that doesn't seem to be the case in the FW world? It has NOTHING to do with military retirements or VA disability compensation. Hint. ALPA! If helicopter pilots had more common sense they would figure that out and ditch the "office workers" union for one that deals in the transportation industry. But what do I know, I'm just a retired military helicopter pilot with a VA disability, over $4K a month in SS and no house or car payments. I couldn't possibly have enough brains to figure that out! |
