I think this is the old contract, but I don't think they got a huge bump with the new one. I stand open to correction there.

Air Methods

Worked there for ~3 years. Good job, was hard to leave. Although some bases/programs are definitely superior to others.

Schedule is usually 7on/7off. Some bases do a day/night mix, some bases do one rotation day one night, and I've heard rumors that a few bases have guys who prefer one or the other and negotiate with someone who prefers the other to permanently switch places, although I've never seen it myself. I've also heard rumors that some more remote bases will negotiate a 14/14 for commuter pilots to cut down on travel costs, but don't have any personal familiarity with that, either.

PS. When considering that pay, factor in that you will probably have the opportunity to earn OT. At least a few thousand even if you're taking it easy.
