Question: Considering their track record over decades, how dare Brown/Cameron ask us to vote for them?

So Brown's keywords are "Jobs, jobs,jobs", Blairs where "Education, education, education" and the only truth is it's all Fabrication, fabrication, fabrication".Promising another referendum when he welshed on the last one! I remember at the last election Blair/Brown pledging millions of pounds to help the Worlds poor at a concert in Hyde Park. New Labour got elected, the Worlds poor got nowt!

Answer: i wouldn't vote for either of them or their party's, they have systematically wrecked our country over the last few decades and now are plying us all with lies so they can carry on the carnage.
its time for change alright, but not the change those toerags are asking us for

Question: Becoming a heli-ski pilot?

Hi everyone,
My second year at university really didn't go the way I had expected it to go. I didn't enjoy it at all and decided to take the year off to work and find out what it is I want to do as a career for the rest of my life. This summer I really started doing research into becoming a fixed-wing pilot but all the travel and time away from home isn't my kind of thing. It's the stresses it puts on family life I don't like. Anyhow, I read that helicopter pilots tend not to travel as much and usually work from a home base. Now I have always been an avid snowboarder and I have been wondering what the path is to becoming a heli-ski pilot. I assume that you have to build a lot of flight hours before working at a heli-ski business, but what is the typical timeline and work needed to be put into becoming a heli-ski pilot? Thanks for your help!

Answer: I first want to caution you that the career of a helicopter pilot can be just as stressful on family life as it is for fixed-wing pilots. It is true that you will usually operate out of one location, because helicopters do not travel very far. However, the career will present its own challenges. For example, helicopter pilots are likely to switch jobs more frequently. Furthermore, you will often have to move or commute a long way to get the jobs you want. The pay is generally less than a similarly experienced airplane pilot, while the training is more expensive. Finally, it is a long and hard road to get to the job you really want (for both). It's not like you take a few lessons, get your pilot license, and immediately go to work as a heli-ski pilot. The road to becoming a pilot can be just as stressful as the job itself.

Obviously there are plenty of people who are happy with their careers as both airplane and helicopter pilots, but this career will definitely tax your family life. Just be sure to carefully investigate and consider the type of lifestyle you will be looking at in this career. I second the recommendation of talking to heli-ski pilots if you get the chance. I have never done that myself, so I can't give you details of their lifestyles. I can tell you that it will take years to finish basic training and build the experience you need.

Note that I am in the US, and so it may be a little different if you are in another country.
