I made the switch! After flying float and wheel planes on Kodiak Island for 3 summers I couldn't bear flying larger IFR fixed wing aircraft (yawn..). I currently have 2500 hours AK time and 3200 total, and a good part of that is float planes (all off airport, low level, extremely diverse missions). I will have my rotorwing add-ons (ATP, CFI, CFII) by the end of this summer and hopefully will be instructing after that.

 

To my question:

Since I already have Alaska, mountain, poor weather, tour and off airport experience, while not in a helicopter, would I be able to land a job in Alaska flying helicopters with less then 1000 hours rotorwing?

 

I don't see myself having 1000 hours rotorwing by spring 2015 but more like 700-800. What do you think?

I doubt you will land a turbine job with under 1K but try the R44 operators. There are lots of them in Alaska.
