The company pay raise is certainly a positive move.

Agreed; Now I'd like to see step increases for time in service. I'm not complaining about the 14% though. Hopefully it'll be soon.

Maybe I missed it, what is the pay at right now? I'm a high time PC12 guy (2500+) and looking for a post military gig. The mission sounds cool and I'm in the panhandle area already. Not so sure about 7days of 12hr shifts though. Maybe if it was just on call from home.

What’s with the “being home” references?

None of the EMS gigs I’ve participated in have a call-from-home option. Some did in the distant past. Is that being reanimated to attract pilots or do you mean simply living in base?

Regarding pay I think everyone knows how far behind Methods has fallen. I’ve made 50% more than your contract rate being hospital based.

Simply that I plan on sleeping in my own bed every night (or day when doing a mid shift). It means not dragging a 22” bag to and from hotels half the year.

Thanks for clarifying.

Not an insignificant detail on EMS is that some situations allowed ‘at home’ call within a certain distance of the airport. My former employer lost a large chunk of talent when this policy was rescinded. In this hiring environment I’d like to see the policy of a qualified at home reserve reinstated.

When you guys throw these terms around know that you are describing in confusing terms a significant part of the history of your job. And yes, I agree with the dragging a bag around terminals part.
