I had a chat with one of the Erikson factory pilots at Heli Expo and
asked about qualifications to get into one of those monsters. He said
1,000 hours as PIC and then you attend their Part 141 school for the
type rating. I asked if that 1,000 PIC had any turbine requirements
and he said it could be all piston time. Sure gave me a focal point
for my future..

I'd love to do this job: www.temscoair.com for a summer season. 1000 hours
piston experience required and they provide all turbine training. Of
course, the work permit will be my problem and probably prevent me from
having that opportunity, since the J1 Visa I'll be on (doing my training at
HAI in Florida starting September) restricts me to instructing work only
afterwards.
