Calling all B200 Medevac Pilots

fallonmyass · Post by **fallonmyass** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 1:09 pm

Hello, I am trying to put a list together to find out how much companies are paying their King Air Medevac Captains and First officers. I would also like to know what your schedule is like and if there is a bond. If you could also state what company you work for that would really help.
Thanks for your time.

Thanks .. . for your reply and the links you attached. I actually did a search and found those but I am trying to get specific information. I am in the process of putting together a package of salary info to take to management. So I need the company’s name, schedule, and pay info. The company I am currently at seems to think that it is industry standard to pay a Medevac captain on a King Air $45,000 with a two week on and two week off schedule and $10 000 Bond.

Captain: $45000 + $5000 bonus if you stay a year.
FO: $28000
2 weeks on, 2 off 24 hours a day on call.
No Bonds

We are also looking to do the same thing with our management.

There are companies out there that don't require training bonds?

65K - 80K a year. 24 hrs on call on scheduled days on.

the higher end would be for rotating to the north half the year.

"The company I am currently at seems to think that it is industry standard to pay a Medevac captain on a King Air $45,000 with a two week on and two week off schedule and $10 000 Bond."

Here is an idea

-dont work for companys that ask you to pay them money up front to fly their planes

-dont fly a king air doing medivac's for $45,000 a year

there are lots of good companys out there looking for pilots right now, stop paying to work for the shitty ones!

The Borek boys/gals are making well over 60K.
At Voyageur I was making 50K plus bonus back in 2001.
I know another company in the eastern Artic that is paying 90K for a month in, month out.
The southern based companies pay less.
Don't take it, if your there leave, tell them to stuff the bond - there not legal anyway.
If you paid upfront it's your own damn fault.

Why are any pilots agreeing to bonds and low pay with the industry the way it is, especially in the 703/704 world...

Never again will I upfront money...

Does "bond" means automaticaly that you need to upfront the money, or it could as well be that you pay when you leave ?

well I have a friend of mine that just started at Fast Air, I was told he was getting 45000 $ a year...

wtf_over · Post by **wtf_over** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 4:30 am

he's a charter guy then, medivac is a whole different game.

The good news is he doesen't work for keewatin doing medivacs and getting laughed at cause most co-joes are making more in the medivac biz

Jer · Post by **Jer** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 4:32 am

ah... you are probably right. I didn't know there was a difference in the pay scale. How much are the co-jos making ?

wtf_over · Post by **wtf_over** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 4:34 am

Fast is a good company, pay is good give them a resume ask them

wtf_over · Post by **wtf_over** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 4:35 am

The point of all this is Don't fly as a captian for $45 000

Jer · Post by **Jer** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 4:36 am

All right ! Thanks for the advice !

harveymushman · Post by **harveymushman** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 7:47 am

What ever happened to Keewatin starting up an assosiation and putting in some demands for no more bond, better pay, no more 2 weeks of 24hrs on call, and such?

Now, I get home from a flight, I get to pop open a cold one, and think back to the phone calls I used to get, just as I sat down to a nice meal with my family. Hah! No more! I USED to fly B200s on medevacs. Hated it. Of all the medevacs I flew, I think there were maybe four that were REALLY medevacs. Maybe. Now, every time I hear...".......705 medevac...." I smile, knowing somebody is rushing to the aid of some poor bastard with a hang nail. Or even worse. Somebody is "unhappy". Have at her, kids. It should be all about the time off, and the pay cheques!
Now if we can just get the thoughtless prick who trains his (ten thousand dollar) new hires to do holds on the FAF at YXL in IMC while he stacks up four aircraft waiting for approach clearances from ATC, to grow some common sense, things would go a lot smoother.
And that's the bottom line.

I'll get flamed for this but, I don't care. It's what I do.
Captains are worth 55-65K, on a good day.
Co-pilots should be going for 25-35K, totally depending on time with the operation, etc. Total time shouldn't be an issue here.
NOBODY should be DUMB enough to PAY any company for a job.
Let's face it, you're all (VERY few exceptions here) just in it till Jazz calls!
