I just wanted to get your guys input.

I’m a FO for a regional airline and want to switch careers flying Helicopters.
You guys have twice as much fun and know it.
This didn’t seam that bad of a deal, but I don’t know too much about Helicopter flight training. I think the part that would kill you is paying for the fuel.
Thanks,

They want your 30k plus they want you to fly 150 hours of photo missions for free. They even want you to pay for the Avgas.

That does not sound like a good deal to me. That sounds like a company that wants to take advantage of you.

Ever thought of joining the Army?

Boatpix is pretty well known in South Florida. It's a way to get some hours, yes, because you can't rent a helo the way you can rent a 172 ... insurance generally forbids it. But they're yanking your crank if they say you can get work with 300 hours - except for CFI'ing, nobody will touch a helo driver with less than 1000 rotor hours, and usually some turbine time and an instrument-helo.

Do it the army way if you can.
