Helicopter pilot seems like a pretty good job, even more-so for someone famous.
I think some of the agencies that were grounded had in part to do with the fact that they need to see to perform their primary function as opposed to Bryants helicopter that was a point A to point B exercise, so instrument flight would be all that was required.

Police, Rescue and New helicopters rely on seeing to do their primary function.
