Hard to imagine very many 25,000 hr helicopter pilots looking for work, most are retired by that time. Retired 4 years ago at age 70 with 28,000 hrs total, (25,000 hrs helicopter), mostly all heavy lift time and accident free ( except for a transmission failure in a Chinook in Vietnam) Have not been near a helicopter since, nor have any desire to. One of my coworkers retired at the same time with 31,000 Helicopter hours, also a Vietnam Veteran...RIP Vern.
