Air Methods FW Regional Relief Pilots?
Anybody have any insight into the schedule/QOL of Air Methods' FW Regional Relief pilots?
If it makes a difference this would be a home-based Relief position in California.
Thanks.

Generally float in the specific region to fill in various needs at the regional managers option...covering sick, vac, leave, test flights etc. Usually 7on7off....but xtra pay doesn't come till you meet the quota of shifts or hrs/year. Travel expenses are covered, but not sure if those hrs count towards the total as you are salary. Position is pretty loosely defined so it could be really good or really bad depending on the location, manager, aircraft, distance between bases, etc....

One more question are your travel days included in the 7 on?
I've talked with operators that have you travel outside of your 7 on, which, while you get paid extra, cuts into your 7 off...

It sounds like something I may be interested in.

I believe its the only EMS company with a union, one which was able to "achieve" the lowest pay in the EMS sector , not only this but they have the worst schedule. 9 ON /5 OFF ( you commute on your days off) vs 7/7 or 14/14 elsewhere.
