The Air Ambulance gig I refereed to requires a minimum 3,000 hours of which 500 is single pilot IFR. (Like Amerflight if my lack of understanding isn't getting in the way again.)
$72,000 plus benefits starting pay. 7 days on 7 days off. I think someone could get there after 2 or 3 years at Amflight.
Could you get $72,000 plus turbine PIC and 7 days off at a time after 2 or 3 years at a regional? My lack of understanding tells me no. Maybe I'm wrong.
