JonnyUSMC Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Are there any programs or companies that will pay for someone to go through helicopter school in exchange for a contract to work for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagMan Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Good luck with that. Unless you are apart of the family that owns the business, more than likely no. Have never heard of any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choppedair Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 I wish!Hell I know of some companies who are charging students to fly for them on cherry drying contracts just for the 'experience'. I think you would be hard pressed to find anyone to promise a job after you have paid for their entire program in today's market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelFire_91 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 I believe ARAMCO pay's training from Pvt - Comm for it's employee's but you would have to be Saudi, and pass their extensive selection criteria to cash in on that. The school I work for will "usually" offer a deal. They'll pay for your CFII in exchange for a 1 year contract teaching for them, however... You would already have to be employed as a CFI and in good standing for them to do that, so...... in short..... No, I don't know any place like that.

If only I were 20 years younger... or if the Government would acknowledge that us old people can make the same sacrifices as the young'uns, age discrimination, bah, humbug!!
