hold up...you can't just say 'FAA grounded me for life' without sharing something about that story! I've never heard of anything like it...

Going straight to helicopters without flying airplanes first is not a typical path.

Medical issue.

I'm hoping that the pilot shortage will eventually allow me to apply again, with more good history, and get a medical.

I chose helicopters because that part of the industry is not as volatile, and I was making the transition during COVID when the airlines were struggling.
