The document discusses the challenges of finding helicopter pilot jobs in South Africa given the limited opportunities. It describes a program through LA Helicopters and FAA Services that allows South African helicopter pilots to obtain their FAA commercial helicopter license in the US in a more efficient way compared to obtaining it in South Africa. The process involves initial preparation flights in South Africa, 10 days of training and testing in Los Angeles, and costs around $2,800 or R38,500 total. Obtaining an FAA license provides advantages like access to the large US job market, flexibility in operating N-registered aircraft, and potential for ferry flying opportunities.
