Hey chopper guys

[urflyingme?!]

Just wonderin, as usual, how you guys got your jobs.
OK?
Cool!

I'm wondering if there is a job that lets you hour build other than instructing or PFH (pay-for-hours).

It seems no one will hire you if you don't have at least 1000 hours, and it appears that the only job available is either instructing or paying a few bucks (like 50-100) to fly a news chopper or something.
