I've never been to a SSH meeting, but I have driven through cities that were
playing their radio adds. Some of the things on the radio were a little hard for me to swallow. I know there is a shortage of pilots out there, but SSH was making it sound like you get your license, they give you a job, build some time and go out and do EMS, Logging, Corporate, or anything else you want. If only it were that easy! I would say go to the meeting, make a list of what they say so you can look at it later without a salesman talking to you and then make your decision. Good luck Jim |

Mark.. you did not say where you are..
They have a very busy business in Las Vegas, home station. They sell training, financed.. and maybe even a promise of employment.. I've heard upwards to $55K debt is possible. Commercial IFR Helo Pilots.. and possibly some experience in heavy lift and sling load operations. Might be worth the visit to hear their pitch. There was a recent article in the local papers about them. The pilots that make it to Full Commercial IFR with them are well screened to get to that point. BT "Mark Taylor" wrote in message ...

Mark,
I fly with Silver State, once in awhile, here in Las Vegas. Good instructors and a very well run operation. They seem to be very successful and very professional. They have a financing package available also. Whether or not that would be a good investment is something you need to investigate further, but if you decide to do it, Silver State Helicopters seems like a good place to get your ratings.
