Hello,
Been a long long time lurker here, and alot of the valuable info I,ve gained over the course of my career was through this website. Currently a cptn at a well established 135 operator, and in the last few years have been in the typical debate of "should I go to the airlines". At this point the idea of flying a people or a box bus around sounds really uninteresting. Frankly ,I could care less about the money. I've honestly been thinking alot about seriously altering the course of my career. It may sound dumb, but I want my career to have purpose, not just make me alot of money. In that regard I have been seriously thinking about getting a helicopter add on to my ATP. I have yet to look into the fine details, but my purpose would be to possibly eventually transition into EMS or law enforcement, etc. On a side note, I do understand the difficulties involve with things like law enforcement today. I have a close friend who has done it for 15 years. Other possibilities Ive considered are simply doing fixed wing stuff for CBP, law enforcement, or gov. Agencies of some sort. I'd love to hear some input, and possible time line on things like this from anyone who is willing to share. Lastly, im not sure how important this is, but in 37 currently.
Thanks so much guys.
