Default HEMS/HAA to Airline ?

I don't know if there are many in this situation, but just throwing it out there. Maybe this thread will just phase out but giving it a try. Are pilots making the transition to the regionals?

Some regionals have mil helo to ATP programs. I think they might only be for military though and not HEMS pilots.

I figured since there are pilots in the community with a few thousand hours and some of them being IFR programs they might be jumping on the bandwagon. Just a thought!

There’s probably not enough people in that industry making the jump for regionals to announce a program. I’m sure you could send a few emails and they’d extend the same program benefits for military rotor transition.

CommutAir, TSA, and GoJet have civilian rotor transition programs. They’re not top tier airlines but they do have the programs.

Doing it. I flew Army RW and then HEMS for a few years. Doesn't matter where your hours come from. HEMS, military, utility, etc... I've been flying FW on the side for a while. The transition all depends on you. Study and stay ahead of the lesson plans and you'll be fine.
Just my cent and a half.

Many HEMS pilots have transitioned but I’m not sure if that’s what you’re asking (because the answer to that question is common knowledge; like have any Syrians moved to Europe).

What exactly is your question?

I am aware of several military RW pilots making the transition, but the HAA/HEMS pilots making a transition is not well known. I was just curious if people flying in that particular industry are making the jump. I am sure there are some of them that read or have joined APC may want to respond, or not.

So you want to hear from ex HAA pilots who do not have a military background that successfully transitioned from HAA to the Regionals?

Yes (military or no military background) in the HAA community. Those who are actively pursuing the training by building the required hours or those who are just tossing the idea around, or have completed the transition? Any or all of the above!
