>>2035138Well this is with a private helicopter company that is going to provide it to me for free as a sort of quid pro quo arrangement. So I get 100 hours of free R22 time and free instructor time as much as want. I’m done with flight schools—never again am I even stepping foot in one of those places.
What I’m really trying to do is build up to helicopter ATP mins and use that as an additional job to work around a corporate jet role with low monthly hours (but highly hourly $$$ & good bennies). I’ll be NYC based come August 2026 (wife going to medical school at Sinai) so this should be viable in terms of job availability.
The question is can I get a job in the gulf with a commercial rotor license (I can add CFI I don’t mind doing the ride) with about 125TT of R22 time plus 750TT of airplane time. Get both to ATP mins from about December 2025 to December 2026, working two weeks on rotors in the gulf then two weeks doing some informal hours building in ASEL/AMEL airplanes back home. go dual ATP.
