Helicopter Pilot Schools? I am going to be getting retrained (at my old work's expense) when I am ready to, and I plan on getting my commercial helicopter pilot's license. Does anyone know of any good schools for that up here? I know of one down by me in Riverside, but I don't want to have to be down there any longer then needed, and the school is 7 weeks long.
Any help/info is greatly appreciated.

The fun part after that will be finding a job up here.

There's a Helicopter flight school up at the Port of Skagit just a bit north west of me. (They also have fixed wing) I've talked to the instructor for the helicopter school and he's a pretty nice guy. I believe the company that runs the school is Glacier Helicopter based out of Olympia.
I've also talked to a guy from Big Bend CC (Think he was either an instructor or administrator don't remember) He had a lot of good information, nice guy as well.
IIRC there is also helicopter training in Everett.
