Diverting

Well, having my CPL (H) License is great.

But, for various reasons (One of which I am told is my Age/Lack of "Life Experience" and "Life Maturity") I have been unable to find a full-time job in the helicopter side of the industry, well it's discouraging to say the least, but Life goes on, and maybe some day down the road down the road I will be a Full-Time Helicopter Pilot.

But at the present time I have been "Diverted" As you can say, After my Job Hunting road trip, I done some thinking, and As you know I already have my PPL (Airplane), so I thought about it, and how I dont have a real preference between flying Airplanes and Helicopters, I decided to come back to fixed-wing for a few years, get a few thousand hours doing instructing and charters, then maybe go back to helicopters. Thus, I decided to upgrade my PPL (Airplane) to a Commercial One, and add a flight instructor rating, and a float rating just for fun.

So I have applied, and was accepted within a day (Acceptance into the program was based on Aviation Goals, Background, etc) , to a University Aviation Program, for a "Diploma in Business Administration- Aviation Option", Which I begin in August, I will be taking Business Courses from the Uni, and Fixed Wing Flight Training with the school thats associated with the program, and the funny and cool thing about that is, the instructor who trained me for my PPL (airplane) moved on to another company last winter, and well, she moved onto the school that I will be doing my CPL/Instructor rating at, so I've been told she will just continue on as my instructor, so thats cool, since I found she was a great instructor. The program works great- I get flight training to attain my CPL-Airplane and Flight Instructor Ratings, and a business background from the uni courses, which will come in handy, since my goal is to be in a management/ownership position in a Aviation business one day.

Well thats it for now, See you in August!, Have a great summer.
