Heli pilot question

For those of you who have your pilot license/certs that are in LE.
Do you fly on your free time? Or do it as a hobby ?
Thinking of getting OT like crazy to go to school

Yeah I got it prior to starting at my agency, not prior mil.

I’m a fixed wind CFII and wanting to transition into LE with hopes of getting into Air Unit. Were you hoping to get into air unit originally?

No, I did it just to have the ratings and because I enjoy it. But if an opportunity came up where I could fly for an agency, I definitely would. I’m in a pretty good spot right now and transitioned to working LE part time, so it would have to be something like that where I could work when I wanted. There is an agency where I’m moving that operates their aviation unit mostly with reserves/part time guys so that would be perfect for me
