Is a career in aviation a good career?
badbasco423 asked:
I have heard radio commercials saying that there is a need for helicopter pilots. I have worked around helicopter for several years (wildland firefighting) and have a basic understanding of them. I would like to know about the pros and cons of such a career.

Yes. We are always going to be flying unless we have another attack like 9/11

Well how are people going to get from here and there without pilots? I think it is a very good career speciously a helicopter pilot because that is mainly how the fires in mountains are put out. they need to be there so the mountain/wild land does not burn down. so to answer your question, yes the occupation of aviation is important.

I’ll bet it’s amazing and fun.
Howver, if this is a long term career consider this - how many airline companies have gone into bankruptcy or out of business? I mean, JetBlue is still doing good, but none of their pilots have reached retirement age yet.

helicopter flying is kind of expensive to learn. pursue it if you want to fly.
