I hate my job because it was once cool, now it's corporate jump-through-hoop bullsh*t.

And my 15-20 hours a week of commuting.

You guys don't want to work with helicopters. It's stressful and dangerous. I'll scan some pics of the one that crashed into the side of a building after I got out of it.

When i broke my leg at Mt. Hood...
i was remembering the chopper crashing on the mt. a few years prior.
(actually not really true i was really thinking of $$$)
But i'm sure that thought did cross my mind.
Needless to say i rode to Government Camp.:rofl:

Both.

20 hours of commuting would suck the life out of me.

the closest that i would ever want to be to working with helicopters is being a guide for a heli-skiing company. :drool: i would love a job like that.

a friend of mine broke his leg and arm in a copter crash; it could have been quite worse...he was in it, doing some aerial photography, and apparently the pilot flew too close/hovered too long in the area of a smokestack...the lack of oxygen cut the engine and they dropped from the sky.

I used to loathe and hate and spite my job. I plotted the death of my boss many times. with a knife, no guns. just to make it more personal...

then I quit, got a new job and my commute takes me 12 minutes on my bike. sweeeeet.

I was exaggerating a bit. I LOVE my job, I just wish once in a while I could tell helicopters what to do.


Sure it's probably a little more dangerous, but have you ever seen a stressed out bride and mom?:bomb:

I'll bet he gets nowhere near the free food and wedding cake that I do though:cool:

Sorry about your hand skookes!

I worked with helicopters before I decided to do the bike thing full time. Main rotor blades absorbed most of my time but I did avionics as well - odd combo. Nowhere near as much fun as actually flying or taking pics of them. I'll have to see if I can get a copy of the .mpg on the old network server of a guy crashing one of the helicopters. He had no idea what he was doing, didn't have a rotary license but thought it would be the same as a plane. I think he got almost 6 feet off the ground before destroying the aircraft. Hilarious stuff since he wasn't hurt too bad.

Helicopters rule. I am doing a website for a guy who shoots aviation in europe for the big guns (boeing, airbus etc), it's pretty bad ass stuff.

A lot of his stuff is shot from other aircraft, it must be a fantastic job.
