How hard would it be for someone to transition to the helo-side of the house, and get a decent job, if he's got 2200 hours of fixed wing time? I know I'd have to get all my ratings and such, but would my previous time geneally count for anything? Or should I expect to spend some time instructing to build up my hours?
I know that decent helo jobs require less time than comparable fixed-wing jobs (there's a heavy-lift operation out of a nearby airport that hired a girl with 400 hours to fly one of those big Sikorsky helos) but how much time is enough overall to get something that pays well? Or anything at all, for that matter?
What are competetive times for med-evac and such?
Thanks!
