Moving up to the second level?

[r22butters]

So far this year there have been almost a dozen jobs out there for which a low time loser like myself is qualified, i.e. 500 hour R44 tours. That's probably the most in one season that I have seen in my fifteen years of browsing the job boards!

 

There has also been a butt-load of cfi jobs as well!

 

So, is it fair to say that a lot of guys out there have been moving up to the second level, i.e. entry level turbine gigs, recently, which is causing all of these lower vacancies?

 

,...and of course the big question is?

 

Will this continue into next year, or is it just a one time mini boom?

From my perspective things are going very well. I've made it to flying fires in a type 2 relatively early in my career and I get phone calls about once a month for soft job offers. My friends and former students aren't having a problem finding work either.

I know several rotorcraft pilots who have gone to the airlines. I would say this is affecting the industry. Guy leaves HEMS through a transition program, HEMS needs pilots and it just trickles down from there. My 2 cents.
