Do you actually know what AWS dry does? (there is no AWR dry by the way).

I wouldn't knock the fixed wing community either. Very few flyers I meet, both guys I fly with and those in VP, don't like their jobs. Also we do a lot more travel than our rotary wing buddies.

Thanks for the quick reply it's hard to find answers anywhere online to specific questions, and my bias towards AWS was honestly just the fact that you're attached to a helicopter. From doing more research though fixed wing looks like a better quality of life. What are the reasons and ways you travel more than rotary?
