Although you will have "turbine" time, employers are looking for
turbine time inan aircraft that can carry people/long line..etc. That
you are getting the experiance of working the helicopter.

If you and someone else had the same hours, and turbine time, but he
had it in a 206 or a 500, I bet I know who would get the job.

Went to ground chool tonight and after class, a few of us were sitting
around talking and the subject of Helicycles came up. A few of us
have been looking at the website and doing the "what if?" number
crunching and I had a thought pop in to my head..

Since the Helicycle is turbine powered and you'd be able to log
turbine PIC time, would it be a reasonably priced way to pick up
valuable turbine time or would prospective employers go, "so what?
You've got 1,000 hours in a 'toy'."??

Other than specific time in type experience; what would be considered
"valid" experience towards a job flying turbines?
