I don't think you are in Winnipeg all the time. The medivac peolpe on th 200 spend some time up north, but I am not sure of the sched but it is more than fare from what I remember.

Fast Air is a great company. As was said in previously, the a/c are really well maintained, schedules are good (you are a lot "on call" but not ofter called :D ) and the employers are nice to work with (and not pushy at all). Salaries could be higher for some positions but medivac pilots are very well paid. They are the ones who work the most and they are posted 1 week out of 3 up north.

That's good to hear thanks for your feedback.
Anynone know if they are getting their fair share of the northern expansion that came with skyward's demise?

Unless it has changed I wouldn't say that 40k is well paid for a medevac King Air Captain.

From what I know it has changed to a scale from 45-60K, based on experience and seniority.
