AMRG

If that were true JohnBurke I doubt we'd be in business today. I cannot talk about the company 30 years ago because I was not here. Needless to say, the way the company is being ran today is magnificent, think what you want but our safety record and growth rate speak for itself. Thanks for replying though appreciate your concern!
After viewing the AMRG website, I can tell you, this 135 outfit doesn't even have a resemblance to the one I worked for 30 years ago.....leopard spots my a$$!

AMRG has been bought by AMGH.
From what I have heard from current employees, first thing they did and I do not mean to offend anyone, was to get rid of all of the management and family members that made AMRG a company to avoid.
Give it a year or so to purge the rest of the former company and it might be a good company to work for.

My recurrent training was literally a sit down with a study guide. That's it.
They are starting to pressure pilots to take flights in dangerous weather.
Pilots and med crews are not receiving their promised retention bonuses without a fight.
Relocation reimbursements are being promised and then denied after the employee moves.
On 8/25/17 the D.O. declared that our pay needs to be restructured. We are going to get paid hourly wages instead of daily rates. We are also moving to a 14/7 schedule.
Just stay away. Stay far away.

It is getting worse. Sure it may have had problems with nepotism before... but now it is a good ol boys club for friends of Ben Dorman (our new president). We have an assistant chief who was Dorman's personal CFI who was hired 6/16 and catapulted into his position with hardly any experience. Our D.O. was Dorman's employee when he ran valley med flight. Etc etc.

Duuuude.... Bail IMMEDIATELY if you can!
Duuuuude,
You should bail from that situation immediately, but write a letter to AMGH on your way out. The air ambulance companies under their umbrella are known to be safe, quality companies to work for with similar pay and 7/7 schedules as Air Methods.
I don't think that AMGH realize what they've bought into with AMRG, but if they find out they might be able to make positive changes.
This isn't 1995, 2001, or 2008 anymore and nearly EVERYONE is hiring! Make the move that will help your career and possibly save your career (and life) if things are as bad as they say there. Headhunters are making cold calls for pilots now and there are quality air ambulance companies that haven't been able to find qualified King Air pilots for months. Wheels Up recently hired direct entry captains as recently as 2 months ago..
You. Have. Options!!

I worked for a great family owned company that sold to AMRG, and watching that company fall apart was hard.
