I do understand the various reasons behind the fact that most do not, I assume insurance may be the number one reason.
I may be completely off base here so RI will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that insurance is the biggest part of that problem based on what they require for pilots on our certificate. I believe that if counting rotary time was a possibility, the open minded culture of our company would highly consider it.
It's great to see many folks from different facets of aviation becoming interested in EAS! Thank you!
