It really is hard to hire good employees.
Many of the really good ones are already working.
I am still looking for more myself.

You require a special kind of person. I don't imagine its easy to locate a pilot.

Prefer someone say 25 to 45 with minimum 1500 hours of real time....for example lots of turbine time, hook time, ifr rating, advanced mountain training.

I know nothing about helicopters but I can imagine the rules are very strict.

Stop by Illinois sometime to say "hi".
